Have you any tarnished silverware around the house that you don't use because it is too much trouble to polish? I made a discovery that everyday toothpaste can be a silver polish for darkened silver! I was watching a show that had antiques and heard a woman on there tell how she polished a silver cup prize with ordinary toothpaste.
I tried it and was so excited I forgot to take a before picture of the butter dish I have had around in a drawer. It polished up quite nicely. Then I polished a spoon and knife too and took a picture of it before polishing it. They turned out fine and just hand washed them. You never put silver in the dishwasher. They will turn dark again otherwise.
