Cover the bottom of kitchen sink with a crumpled piece of aluminum foil. Make sure the foil is placed with the shiny side up. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of Arm and Hammer washing soda per quart of water. Add very hot or boiling water. Stir to dissolve washing soda. Add the silver pieces. Clean pieces with crevices and designs with a toothbrush. As soon as you see that the tarnish has disappeared, remove the silver and rinse. Dry the silver with a paper towel, and polish it with a soft cloth. Note: I called my sister who cleans silver for Estate Auctions and she uses this method but she also washes the pieces in hot soapy water first and again after she cleans them in the washing soda water. Also, she said to make sure the silver pieces are touching the foil.
