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.

Precipitated Chalk /
Calcium Carbonate

(affil links)

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