Chemistry of How To Easily Polish Silver with Aluminum Foil, Baking Soda, and Salt

- In this video we look at a simple method of polishing silver with household common items rather than using specific silver polish. We also start by looking at the chemical equation of how and why silver tarnish happens as well as why this process fixes it. You will need salt, baking soda, aluminum foil, boiling water, and tarnished silver. Hope it is a useful tip for you as well as something you can learn more about chemistry from.

Great video!! You did a great job teaching us some great Science!! Plus you got my silver looking brand new. Thank You!!🥳🥳
Like to keep my aluminum positive; not enough positivity in the world today.
This is a great video. I can see what chemicals are used, and why they are used. I was surprised at how much salt and baking soda you used. I would have thought that the weight of the chemicals would be comparable to the weight of the tarnish being removed. My plan is to use the aluminum foil method and then use regular silver polish after that. Also, I plan to use a glass baking dish instead of a metal cooking pot, because glass will not cause any unwanted side reactions.
That’s a good plan. I don’t have a glass pot that’s big enough.
Thanks for a great video. The formula works quite well. Love your pectoral cross. Would love to buy it, as I am an Orthodox priest.
You’re welcome. I got the cross on a trip to Ukraine in 2012, so I couldn’t part with it. It’s a souvenir.
Thank you very helpful, and educational
This is fascinating! Does a similar oxide layer build up on all stainless steel products? If so, what would happen if used baking soda to remove it? My friend is telling me that certain steel pans are bad because if you boil baking soda in them, you get a leached metallic taste, but others aren't so bad because you get less taste, inferring that cooking with certain pans leaches metal into your food but not with others. Is he correct? Isn't steel just steel? Is the metallic taste more likely from an oxide layer?
Where did you get the cross it’s very beautiful!
Kiev, Ukraine

What made you get into the casting and refining? I've been collecting silver and gold for a while now and just started with refining.
I needed more tax deductions. Casting and refining allows me to claim gold and silver as material expenses.
For a more detailed analysis prompt co-pilot with ---> "Describe the detailed chemical process that allows aluminum, salt and boiling water to be used to polish silverware and also describe how adding salt facilitates the reaction"
It works with drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide) better but it could be too vigorous and quite dangerous… Best done outside…
Does this release a dangerous amount of Hydrogen Sulfide into my house?
Probably depends on volume. Wasn’t an issue in this video, but it was done in another part of the home with nearby windows open.
