Tell me how to clean my tea set

Q. I have a silver plated tea set that is tarnishing and I was wondering what do I use to clean it? If you could help me I would very much thank you.

on eBay or Amazon

(affil link)

You can use 300 gms sodium thiosulphate ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil links] /1 lit water solution. Or you can use precipitated chalk ⇨
and some water mixture (few drops of ammonia ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil links] can be added). Rub it on your object, rinse well and that's all. Good luck!
