Want to skip the DIY prep work?

You can clean this in minutes without any hassle using Gharista's Universal Cleaner. No mixing solutions, no multiple products — just spray and wipe. Plant-based, safe for your family, and works on almost every surface.

If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean silverware tarnish effectively at home.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Line Pan with Foil

Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, shiny side up.

2

Arrange Silverware

Place silverware in single layer touching the foil.

3

Add Baking Soda

Sprinkle 2 tbsp baking soda over silverware evenly.

4

Pour Boiling Water

Carefully pour boiling water to cover silverware. Watch tarnish disappear.

5

Wait 5 Minutes

Let silverware soak. Heavily tarnished pieces may need longer.

6

Rinse and Dry

Remove with tongs, rinse in cool water, dry immediately with soft cloth.

Pro Tips

  • This method works through a chemical reaction, not abrasion
  • Don't use on silverware with hollow handles
