With time, silverware becomes tarnished, losing its brilliant and gleaming look. Potato water presents a straightforward and environmentally friendly remedy. Boil several potatoes, then extract them from the water. Submerge your tarnished silverware in the potato water and let it soak for an hour. The natural starches in the potato water help remove the tarnish. Following the soak, scrub the silverware delicately with a soft brush, rinse with fresh water, and dry with a paper towel. Your cutlery will appear brand new!
