You will have understood: aluminum foil remains essential in every home. Essentially used in the kitchen, this product can be used in packaging and preserving food. However, aluminum foil has other less known virtues! By combining it with salt, it can solve a fairly common household problem.
Silver jewelry or objects tend to tarnish over time due to the oxidation of the metal. With aluminum foil, two tablespoons of coarse salt, a handful of baking soda and hot water, it becomes easy to restore this metal to a full shine. Start by lining a container with aluminum foil (shiny side up). Then add all the ingredients and mix.
Then place the silver objects in this mixture and close the aluminum foil to wrap the container. Leave it for 30 minutes. With this method, a chemical reaction occurs that transfers the tarnish from the cutlery to the aluminum foil. Your items will be as good as new again!
Of course, before putting them back, you have to rinse them and dry them with a soft cloth. There you have it, don’t wait any longer to give your precious silver objects a makeover!
