New to your channel. Really enjoying your videos.

Please do a “best of” magazine. It would sell out so quickly!❤️

Yes-I would LOVE a ‘Best of’ issue! This was not only fun-SO INFORMATIVE!! Thanks Linda 🙂!

I've been using this technique for year's. I inherited a silver coffee and tea set from my mother in law and this method has kept it clean and shinny!!

I'm going to try this. I have some pieces that need cleaned. When my hair sticks out, I just say that's my humidity indicator!😄

I love how your concoction cleans the silver. I can’t wait to try it. I also love all your edited comments. They sound like what I’d be thinking also. I always get a laugh out of them.

It was so nice to watch your video on a Sunday afternoon! I also have silver plated pieces from thrift stores and estate sales and I will use your method for cleaning- so easy and great results. Thank you and have a lovely week. Jane

You're so funny! I'm impulsive just like you and appreciate your personality - if you lived down the street from me we would be best friends.. I love your channel and enjoy your creativity so much. Please keep posting more tips like this one.

Awe, your hair looks cute! Thanks so much for your tips!

Thanks for the tips on cleaning silver and your stove.

Love your videos , you are a very honest person. Thank you very much for sharing your cleaning methods with us , I do appreciate it.I always learn something new from watching your videos.thanks once again love.

I just tried this method on my silver and it works like magic!! OMG the quickest I've ever cleaned the silver and it's beautiful. Thanks so much for posting this.

Such a great idea, thank you

My mother used to clean some of her larger pieces with boiling water and spic and span powder in an aluminum roaster. Silverware we use to sit for hours cleaning. I have found that if used on a regular basis it doesn't need as much cleaning. Thanks for this method since spic and span powder is hard to find. Would love a best of book. Have a great week!

Fantastic Linda! Can’t wait to try this!

Thank you for the tips

Great tips, thanks!

That was fascinating. So cool.

January is such a good month for tackling special cleaning projects like this!

I have read that tarnish is more the loss of silver ions as they are very chemically unstable in oxygen. I gave my daughter several silver items in a large plastic bin with a lid. Three years later the silver is in perfect condition. Perhaps because the silver ions are happy and stable in a low oxygen environment.

Fabulous, thank you! Will try it as well!!

I’m definitely trying this! It’s amazing!

I am definitely going to try this method with my silver. Thank you for the great tip!

I can't wait to try this tarnish removing method tomorrow! Amazing! I'm excited!

Thank you

Just came across this video since I’m a new subscriber…thank you for this demonstration! Can’t wait to try it myself !

Love the cleaning tips for the silver.it allows me to be able to keep those pieces clean.Thank you so much for sharing.

Love love, love this tip! Thanks, Linda. I had heard of this method but couldn't find "measurements" until now!

Thank you very much for your tips I intend to try this as soon as possible it looks fun and so quick!!

Thanks so much. I learned a lot. Keep the tips coming. Thank you!

Oh yes, please. A "best of" would be wonderful. I recently ordered the back issues you offered, such a beautiful publication!

Thank you for sharing. I have several little silver spoons It’ll be nice to see them clean

Great tips!

This was fun..I am going to give it a try this week..thanks Linda👍

Truly amazing hacks, thank you for your knowledge.🙂

Great video. Thanks,I will definitely try this cool cleaning idea. Really enjoy your approach to life in all it’s aspects.

This is so interesting......I’ve never tried it, but sure intend to 👏👏👏

Thank you for sharing this👍💖! Finally l will be able to use my silver items more often now. Before silver cleaning allways long time to get nice result.

Thanks for that cleaning silver method. It is so simple love your videos

Yes! Do a "best of" !

Thank you Linda! I collect the Wallace Silver Sleigh Bells for my Christmas tree. Most that I’ve picked up at antique stores are, of course, tarnished. So I will make them like new again!

Thanks so much I cleaned this week my silver and it took me hours I will trie it looks greate thank you 🌹❤️

Linda you are a wonder women! I just did that with my thrifting finds. Thank you for all the tips. I love al your videos!

Amazing idea , I will try this I have some silver that needs cleaning and my oven, baking powder sure does wonders. Thank you for the amazing tips Linda ❤😊

I’ve used this method for years. It works every time! I’d love to see a “best of” issue!

I love polishing silver !! My 96 yr young mother has terrible arthritis in her hands and l used to volunteer to polish all of her silver for her... (my ADHD soul finds it very relaxing). Her flatware is 1940 s so everything has to be done by hand. My Reed and Barton is 1981 so l just put it in the dishwasher. The problem l have on some Sterling serving pieces are little black spots. My mother used to keep plants in one and it’s got a few of these pits . Years ago there was a silversmith in Chatham, NJ that could repair and rebuild anything, sadly he is long gone. Thank you for sharing. It was fun to watch .

regarding you 'thinking' about a best of edition, do like Nike ,just do it :) I am wondering about leaving a metal bowl or pot of water in the oven set to 400f, leave it there for about 15 minutes to steam the oven clean in place of the 500 oven clean

Hmmm. My last oven had a steam clean option, but my current one does not, so there could be a reason. I wish I could help you on that one.

Loved the electroplating method of cleaning. Keep well ventilated whilst doing.

Loved this video, your tips are wonderful, thank you. Xoxo 🤗👍

Bones tardas des de Catalunya !, una salutació.

I do this with all of my silver. Its so fast. I also own a jewelry business and do it with my plain sterling rings.

I don’t have many silver pieces cleaning them makes me not want it. But this process of cleaning it makes it less painful! I will try it

Amazing! This will save my hands so much pain as I have neuropathy in my hands and arms which make scrubbing very painful.

Thank you for this wonderful, educational video. I love watching--your voice is very calm like an ASMR video.

Linda thanks for sharing ;-)

I am going to try this method.👏🌈

Hi Linda, I use this method on my sterling flatware as I use it every day. So much easier than polishing all those pieces. For my hollow ware I use Hagarty’s silver wash. Does a great job. FWI, I put my sterling forks and spoons in my dishwasher. Not the knives as the handles are glued. Just make sure the sterling is in a basket separate from any stainless steel. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Linda! I really hope that you do a “best of” magazine. I think you mentioned possibly doing a tabletop book as well. I know that I would love that and certainly purchase it or/and the magazine as well and I am sure I am not alone in my thinking! Enjoyed your silver cleaning tips and always enjoy your videos!

I would love to add a “Best of” magazine to my NEFL collection.

Bonjour Linda, I did try this method years ago and although it works I quickly turned back to my fantastic product that I buy at Birks Store.(high end jewelry store and fine silver). It is a red paste that I apply with a damp sponge that comes with the product : no smell, no mess, perfect result. Perhaps I am a little lazy and I dont want to spend a loot of time boiling water, changing the water and foil, etc. !! Anyway, it was fun to watch this video.

What is this magic potion? Makes me want to go up in the attic and dig out my tarnished “treasures” right away. Thank you for sharing this. Happy New Year!

Unrelated question. Where do you find your glass hurricane lamps for your candles, other than vintage shops & may I ask for your honeycomb candle resource? Mine seems to have disappeared. Thanks!

I would love to see a "Best Of" mag!!! I would also like to know if you have a "magic cleaning" idea for copper.

Hi Linda I have never did the self cleaning oven. I will try it now. The sliver cleaning can it be used on sliver jewelry? Also, I have asked this already, do you have a copper cleaning recipe. I have some copper bottom pots of my grandma and a copper weathervane. Thank you always enjoy your video’s. Take care. Pauline

Loved this video! Thanks! I was planning to try this method on my thrift store silver trays, etc. and just happened to see your video. I have also heard of putting ketchup on them but I think your method is less messy. LOL :)

Linda after you clean them how long does it last before they start to tarnish again. Thks

❤Do you have a Best of? I would love to buy some for xmas gifts👍

I use Hagerty’s silver polish I bought at a silver shop. Could you let me know what you think of that .

I've never tried the ammonia. I currently just use warm water with a few drops of dish detergent and a nylon scrubbing pad on my racks. on the silver racks, like on my other stoves I used something like an SOS pad .

I live in Belfast Northern Ireland, how can I get your magazines?

I was looking for a more natural method instead of buying harsh chemicals. I asked you before about this. Thanks for sharing! Also can you share how you dress your sofas/chairs? Do you change your cushions?

I have not tried that Celine. I might try something to check that out.

You’ll like this we have a Viking electric stove with a self cleaning oven. Every year or so years I would have to call the repair guy because either one of the burner elements would not work or the temperature in the oven stopped working or the oven cleaning cycle would not work. I remember thinking I’m never getting another Viking the repairs are expensive . Then it hit me the self cleaning cycle gets so hot 500 degrees that it would ruin something in the oven and it would have to be repaired . So I haven’t used the self cleaning cycle since the last repair person came that was three years ago. Now I clean the oven every spring by hand. No more repair person. Unbelievable!

Ohhh great idea I collect silver sugar tongs and they're fiddly to clean this would be a quick way , thank you 💖 this might be a silly question to some but... which way up should the foil be in the bowl, ie shiny side up or dull side, I'm thinking shiny and apologies if you said how I obviously didn't hear.

I have done this on a smaller scale, with my sterling silver jewelry. most of the pieces that I have are not expensive, and I do usually use either a polishing cloth or silver cleaner, but I wanted to see if it would work, and it did! I have alot of copper and brass, do you know how to clean those? thanks for sharing! xoxo

I'm not sure if it cleans other metals and others have asked. I have a few pieces I am going to try

Not a method I would use, because it causes micro pitting to the surface. The "egg" smell is sulfur, because the tarnish is basically sulfur from air pollution and has attached to the silver. If you have ever noticed that silver tarnishes faster with bad air quality days or using a silver fork on a runny egg, that is why.

@jmeh2388

3 жыл бұрын

Sulfur molecules are also found in many soaps, lotions, and perfumes so it’s not just the air quality. Onions and Eggs have high sulfur content. Bore water has sulfur. Also other contributors of tarnish are humidity levels and the copper that makes up a portion of sterling silver reacts with oxygen to cause a tarnish. My guess is she is ok with the micro-pitting because as she said they were not family heirlooms and less than $5.

Is that one tablespoon of baking soda per cup of hot water? The measurement wasn't very clear.
