Question from Heather Hill
I recently purchased used silverware (silver plated) and would like to clean them up. Could you recommend an Earth Friendly/natural silver polish ?
Thank you,
Heather

In my book Home Safe Home, I recommend removing tarnish from silver by magnetizing it away.
You just use aluminum and salt in any form–like a crumpled piece of aluminum foil and table salt–and put it in a pot of water. Add the silver and let it sit. The tarnish will come right off. I demonstrated this on TV once, years ago.
