How do you clean a sterling silver platter?

Answer by  Valentine62 (2131)

Ketchup is a good cleaner because it contains enough acid from tomatoes and vinegar to polish gently away dark film on silver. This may sound a little crazy, but it is an old-fashion remedy for tarnished items.

The best product to use would be one specifically designed for cleaning silver, like Tarn-X or jewelry cleaners that are safe to use on silver. In a pinch, basic toothpaste works really well to clean silver. Just rub it on in small circles, rinse, and dry to a polished shine.
