Cleaning Silver with Baking Soda
Try cleaning your silver with a bit of baking soda.

1. Line a large bowl or a small bucket with tinfoil with the shiny side facing outwards
2. Place silver items into the foil-lined container
3. Pour in hot water to cover the items that need to be cleaned
4. Add baking soda to the water until it begins to fizz
5. Allow the silver to soak for about half an hour
6. Remove the silver from the water
7. Rinse
8. Dry

Baking soda can also be used to clean large pieces of silver without using the dipping method that is explained above. For these larger pieces you will want to combine baking soda with water to form a paste. Dip a clean, damp sponge into the paste and rub it onto the silver. The longer you leave the paste on the silver, the more tarnish you will remove. Finish by rinsing the silver with hot water and drying.

I always use this method, it's brilliant!

I've heard that leaving it to soak overnight in cola works aswell, PLEASE don't sue me if it doesn't work though as I've never tried it - I might be thinking of dirty toilet bowls...
