Hi Tammy i was reading about you cleaning silver ware..here is another one that I have known since i was a little girl that was passed down from my family. Take some tin foil and line a big big pot..put all your silver forks,spoon,knifes only in the bottom of the pot. Now add some salt. This has to be real silver and nothing esl. Bring it to a boil for a few hours until you see that the foil is turning kinda brown. what this does is remove all the tarness and your silver looks like you just got this..you can even do this for any small sugar bowl,creamer of all the same that is pure silver only..I hope you can use this ideas as well
Actually, I already have something like that posted on my site: http://jewelrymaking.about.com/library/weekly/aa070698.htm
But, thanks.
