1. Potato
A first remedy to try is the potato method . Put a pot of water in a pot and boil two potatoes. Once cooked, remove them from the water and let them cool. Once the water is lukewarm, soak the silverware that has turned black and let it soak for at least two hours, so that the starch from the potatoes removes the black from the silver. If the black is very resistant, it is advisable to add salt when cooking. Once the silverware is removed from the pot, take a raw potato and rub it on the parts that are still a little darker. Finally, wash the items you have cleaned and dry them with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.
