Silver cleaning for the lazy

[emsny]

Does anybody know of a product that can be added to the dishwasher to remove tarnish from silver flatware?

Not to my knowledge is there a product to put into one's dishwasher to remove tarnish to silver. I still feel I must use a silver polish and rub until the silver shines.

And that foul smelling TARN-X is awful for me and for the silver itself ....

the baking soda and foil method does work and is the easiest method I can thing of. Dip and remove. Can't get much easier.

Thanks, both of you. The aluminum, baking soda, salt method did indeed work reasonably well. Results (as Gifted Gourmet says) are nowhere nearly as good as silver polish and a cloth, but at least the fork tines are no longer black.

The tines are the easiest for me .. it is the handle which has ornate designs on it that takes me so long ...

Washing soda works faster than baking soda. About two dollars a box in the laundry are of the store. Use it with hot water and aluninum fdoil in a pyrex pan.

I keep my silver flatware in tightly closed ziploc plastic bags. They don't tarnish that way.
