Silver
If your silver is only lightly tarnished just rub on a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with cool water and buff with a chamois or other soft, lint-free cloth. For tougher cleaning, mix 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water into a paste. Baking soda can be abrasive so don’t use this method on anything delicate. Rinse pieces with warm water and gently rub on the paste. Rinse and buff—so easy!
Gold
Dish soap and sodium-free seltzer will shine up gold and platinum stat. Put your items in a small strainer and soak in the soapy water for about five minutes. Use that baby toothbrush to gently clean crevices, rinse with warm water and buff dry with your chamois. You can de-grease your gold by giving it a quick dip in rubbing alcohol.
