Line the sink with a towel to prevent scratches.
For light tarnish (a yellowish tinge), a wash and dry in warm water and non lemon scented phosphate free dish detergent may suffice. dry with a soft cotton cloth.
For BROWN tarnish, use plain venegar, windes with venegar or a liquid nonabrasive, unscented, aloe free hand sanitizer. Dip a cotton ball in the liquid and rub. make sure to rotate the pies often so as not to spread the tarnish or cause scratches. rinse and dry.
For SERIOUS tarnish, use a commercial polish. Pour hot water over the silver to prvent dust on the silver from scratching. apply a very small amount of liquid polish to a moist cellulose sponge and rub back and forth. rinse the sponge often to prevent scratches. rinse off the polish and dry immediately with a soft cloth. The friction of rubbing helps bring out the shine. to be continued…..
