What can you use instead of silver polish?

- Baking soda and water: Make a paste by mixing equal parts of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to tarnished silver using a soft cloth, rubbing it in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.

- White vinegar and baking soda: Combine equal parts of white vinegar and baking soda in a bowl until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to tarnished silver and let it sit for several minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.

- Lemon juice and baking soda: Mix lemon juice and baking soda to form a paste. Apply the paste to the silver and rub it gently with a soft cloth. Leave it for a few minutes and then rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Dry the silver with a soft cloth.

- Ketchup: Apply ketchup to the tarnished silver and let it sit for several minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.

- Toothpaste: Apply toothpaste to the tarnished silver and rub it in a circular motion using a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.

- Ammonia and water: Mix equal parts of ammonia and water in a bowl. Soak the tarnished silver in the mixture for several minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.

Note: Test any of these methods on a small, inconspicuous area of the silver before applying it to the entire surface. Some of these alternatives may not be suitable for all types of silver.
