Rub Toothpaste on Tarnished Silver
If you have tarnished silver platters and items lying around the house, here’s a simple way to make them shine again. Just use toothpaste! Yep, the same stuff that you put in your mouth twice daily. Smear it on and wait for about 30 seconds to a minute. Then, wipe it off with a damp cloth.
People who have tried this method swear it works better than the commercial stuff and is faster and cheaper. The key is to use white toothpaste and not one of those gel kinds. Some may argue that toothpaste is too abrasive for silver but considering, you put it in your mouth every day, we’re sure it’s okay.
