The 5-Minute Aluminum Foil Trick That Can Make Tarnished Silverware Shine Again

Photo 2 of 6

What You’ll Need

You only need a few basics:

  • Aluminum foil
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Hot or boiling water
  • A bowl, tray, or dish
  • A soft cloth for drying
Line the bowl or dish with aluminum foil, making sure the shiny side is facing up if possible. Then place your tarnished silverware inside so the pieces are touching the foil. From there, sprinkle in a few spoonfuls of baking soda and a bit of salt, then carefully pour in enough hot water to fully cover the silverware.
Almost immediately, the mixture may start to smell slightly sulfur-like or give off a faint reaction. That’s normal — it’s a sign the process is doing what it’s supposed to do.
