Anyone have any tips on polishing silver? I mean really badly tarnished stuff - it's antique, some of it is sterling (which polishes up easier) but this is a CHORE! My late husband was really into collecting the stuff. I'm thinking of selling it as my hands just can't take this polishing work.

There's a formula you can use to get rid of ALL the tarnish, but this is only if you don't want, for example, the dark tarnish to stay in the creases, which many people like.

It has something to do with a sheet of tinfoil, a specific detergent - I'll try to google it from what I remember, and I'll get back to you. Woops - I found a link that mentions it, and they say it'll tarnish faster afterwards, so maybe you shouldn't use that.
