I have an old SS not plated teapot that I have been meaning for years to have professionally done. I'm bored today and I have Internet access. Anyone ever have luck with the baking soda/boiling water/aluminum foil method? I know it works for a light tarnish, this is more than a little.
@BooBear: If the teapot has any ornamental features the baking soda method will take away the patina (dark areas) where it should be. Â I have used this method and it does work but when you are done you have to go over it with a light polish. Â If the piece has areas that should remain dark do not do it! Â It will take forever to get that patina back. Â
