Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 sheet of aluminum foil
1 quart water
Add dry ingredients to 1 quart boiling water.
Submerge foil in water.
Drop silver onto foil.
Tarnish will immediately disappear.
Remove silver from water.
Place on drying cloth.
Allow to dry.
To enhance affect, gently rub silver but it's not necessary.
It will come out of the water shiny as new.*

I DO remember this, from a previous post. Quite a while back. And I'm still trying to figure out why you need the aluminum foil.
Is this like putting a spoon, stem first, into the opening of a partially drank bottle of pop, so it won't lose its fizz?
I find scissors work really well in getting rid of stains on my white dress shirts.
Just kidding. Like a have a white dress shirt.
Scissors work just fine, especially if they've recently been sharpened. Dunno why the foil either but that's what Lorraine said. Works like a charm.
