Agua / Sal / Papel de aluminio
Cortar un pedazo de papel de aluminio y ponerlo en un recipiente de cristal, echar agua caliente ( yo la puse hirviendo), añadir sal, mezclandola bien, sumergir la plata en el liquido durante al menos 5 m. Sacar y secar, repetir hasta dejarla limpia. Para manchas rebeldes frotar con bicarbonato sodico. Consultar con un joyero antes de usar la tecnica en piezas con piedras o perlas.
Curiosa como soy no me basto con limpiarla, en SaberCurioso me explicaron como funciona el proceso a nivel quimico. Ahora a mantenerla limpia con los consejos de la Biblioteca de Joyeria .

I like silver, not necessarily on cuttlery but on jewelry, but I dislike cleaning it, and do not like the harmful fumes emanating from the products used for the task. I have been searching for an easy recipe to clean silver, using natural products, and that would not involve endless shining with cloths. I found many in mother nature network, but I settled with this one below.
Water / Salt / Aluminium foil
Line a glass bowl with foil, shine face up. Fill with boiling water, add the salt mixing well. Dip silver into bowl for 5 m., remove, rinse, and wipe dry. Repeat if necessary. Check with an specialist before using the method on items with gems, porous material, antique pieces, etc, as it might damage them.
I was still curious as to what I had done, so I went and found out how does the chemistry of silver cleaning work.
