Pankaj Ke Nuskhe: How to Clean Silverware To clean tarnished silver jewellery or silverware, just follow this kitchen hack, my Nuskha. Soak the silver it in hot water with some salt and baking soda. The baking soda and salt help transfer electrons between the tarnished silver and the aluminum. Through this process, the sulfur that caused the tarnish (silver sulfide) is pulled away from the silver and bonds with the aluminum instead, leaving the silver clean! #pankajkenuskhe #kitchenhack #pankajb
