Among the Christmas preparations, in addition to the traditional cleaning, cooking and decorating the Christmas tree, a dilemma arises: how to give the silver cutlery the desired shine that will delight guests at the Christmas table?
It turns out that there is a simple way to do this, requiring only a few commonly available ingredients.
The solution is to use aluminum foil and boiling water to clean silver or plated cutlery. Here are the steps to achieve a mirror-like shine:
1. Prepare a few pieces of aluminum foil and then crumple them up.
2. Add baking soda and sugar to a pot of water.
3. When the water reaches boiling point, add the aluminum foil and cutlery.
4. Leave the cutlery in the boiling water for a few minutes, then remove and polish to a mirror finish.
