I have just watched several videos about removing tarnish using this method. You are the only one using the magic eraser and getting all of the tarnish off the silverware. This is the game changer. Thank you.
Hi Sandy. You are most welcome. My pleasure. I'm glad to hear you find my tips useful. Sorry for the delayed response. Happy Holidays
Thank for the video, Not so many people used magic eraser that will help make it more shine.
This is great, there are companies selling an expensive aluminum plate for this purpose. Thank you for the idea. Be very careful with the magic eraser as it removes sliver from silver plate utensils. Dry the pieces with a soft cloth.
I'm so glad I came across your video as I have 2 sets of silver cutlery each consisting of 40 pieces each and I was desperate to find out how to clean them. It looks easy and not time consuming. As you said, many people already have the products in their homes. So thank you a thousand times.
My pleasure. thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad you found the video helpful. One last tip - once you have taken the time to clean and polish your silver pieces you want to keep them from tarnishing for as long as possible so I recommend storing them in sealed plastic bags. The chemical reaction between the air and the metal is what causes silver to tarnish over time so covering them in air tight plastic bags helps combat this problem. Just make sure to hand wash the pieces after every use and dry them well before storing them in the plastic bags.
Hi friend we just found your channel, this is Angela from My Take On Home & Garden channel. Good luck with UA-cam! This video is particularly exciting because we have this issue on some antique flatware. The magic eraser is new to me. So definitely giving that a try. Wow the before and after is amazing! Great video idea!! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber looking forward to what you do coming in the future!😊👍🍴🥄
Thank you for the encouragement and kind words Angela. I'm glad you liked my video. The magic eraser is a neat trick that works like a charm. Your videos on your My Take on Home & Garden channel are a joy to watch. You guys have beautiful pieces. You inspired me to share my collection of European fine bone china dinnerware and tea sets. Can't wait to see your next video. Best regards from Finland :)
Hey Mario that magic eraser was excellent. If you hold each piece and then make contact with the foil you create a weak electric current that then activates the process thoroughly cleaning the tarnish.
WONDERFUL DEMONSTRATION. Thank You For Sharing.

I'm so glad :)
Great video, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Glad you found it useful :)
Thank you, having inherited a 50 year old silvery cutlery and disgracefully tarnished I can do this method when i have more time. It reassures me to have a plan to fix it.
Excellent
Thank you for sharing. How would you buff the scratches out of your silverware?
Hi Anna, sorry for the delayed response. You can lightly buff the scratches off with very low grade sandpaper, however you really have to know what you are doing or you can ruin your silver pieces. I would recommend taking your scratched pieces to a silversmith who can do it properly.
@@mariocadenasliving405 , thank you Mario.
Great video! Can you do this with silver plate flatware?
Yes, you can do this with any silver or silver plated object provided you have a big enough vessel to fully submerge the whole piece in water.
Where do you buy the magic eraser.
In the US and Europe you can find them at any grocery store in the cleaning section.
Thank you.
What does the salt do ?
Salt alone doesn't do anything. However, when salt, baking soda, aluminum foil, and water are combined, they create a chemical reaction known as ion exchange. During this process, the tarnish on the silver (silver sulfide) is converted back into silver, and the sulfide becomes aluminum sulfide on the foil.
Are they silver 925 or silver plated?
The cutlery I used in the video to demonstrate the process are silver plated. However I have done this for my 925 silver pieces as well.
Ruokasuola? >_> Are you finnish by any chance?
I live in Finland but I am not Finnish. I am American.
Music too loud
Ok miss Thang dem eyebrows got to go.just plug tbem up and use them as scrubbers
Super annoying music!
watch something else then :)
@@mariocadenasliving405 I still believe the video would benefit from either changing or removing that annoying music
Incredibly annoying music. Too loud.
