Few people know, but you can tidy up your cutlery using a product known to everyone.
We are talking about kefir, but if you don’t have it, yogurt will do.
These fermented milk products have the ability to delicately, safely, but at the same time effectively clean forks, spoons and knives made of silver.
As you know, over time, silver items become covered with a persistent dark coating.
Trying to get rid of this kind of dirt with a sponge and regular detergent is a hopeless task.
But the weak acids that are part of fermented milk products will do all the dirty work for you.
When they get on dark stains, they dissolve the dirt, after which you only have to rinse them under running water.
Important: if you decide to clean darkened items in this way, do not forget to warm up the kefir or yogurt, then leave the utensils in the warm liquid for 10 minutes.
