How to Clean Silver With Salt & Aluminum Foil

By Home & Garden Last updated Friday, May/31/2024

1). Line a cake pan with aluminum foil. Make sure that the foil covers the entire bottom of the pan and the sides. Fold it firmly over the edges of the pan.
2). Place your silver items in the cake pan. All of them should lie below the rim of the pan. If they do not, use a deeper pan.
3). Boil an entire teapot of water.
4). Add 1/2 cup of salt to the teapot. Continue to heat the water as the salt dissolves.
5). Pour the hot, salty water over the silver. Gently shake the pan to move the salty water over the silver. Let the silver sit in the pan for about 15 minutes while the water cools.
6). Rinse the silver with cool water. Make sure that all of the salt residue is gone from the silver.
7). Wipe the silver dry. Make sure that there are no remaining water drops on the silver or they will spot and tarnish more quickly.
