What to do if your cutlery has become tarnished: you can’t buy new ones
Over time, every item used at the table – be it a fork, knife or spoon – becomes covered with a matte coating.
This problem is especially common with tea and coffee spoons.
It is impossible to protect cutlery from losing its shine, but it is quite possible to clean it to a shining state.
First, you will need to thoroughly wash the tarnished appliances.
After that, put them in a pot filled with the water in which the potatoes were boiled. Important: the liquid must be hot. After 10 minutes, you will need to take out the forks and spoons and rinse them again under water with a drop of detergent.
There is another option that will help dissolve stuck-on dirt.
In this case, you will have to line a container of a suitable size with foil and pour some soda inside. Place the cutlery on the bottom, pour boiling water over them and close the lid.
Forks, spoons and knives will have to spend about 5-10 minutes in such a “bath”, and then they will have to be washed and wiped dry.
