Free Tip #2...An easy, very cheap way to clean tarnished discolored silverware

[Stuart G]

Don't buy any fancy chemicals or polish. Run each piece silverware underneath very hot water for a while at a very fast speed.
The hot water will polish it. Be sure to hold the piece as far away from the faucet as you can get. When the water falls a greater distance it cleans and polishes better. Then, if you want, take a piece of paper towel and polish it. Nothing added. It may take a couple of sessions of this for very bad tarnish, but it works. I found some silverware that had been sitting in the drawer for 17 years and was almost totally discolored. After a couple of sessions, one spoon looked like brand new. If you want to rub it more, just use your fingers on it, they work just fine.

1. Thanks. That's good advice.

I will try it as I have lots of tarnished silverware sitting in my kitchen drawer that I rarely use.
