I have to emend my toothpaste suggestion. Yes, toothpaste will clean silver. But if you use it regularly and vigorously, it will damage your silver. Too abrasive. So in a pinch — the Queen is coming and the silver tea service hasn’t seen a proper polishing since Eisenhower was in office — absolutely, reach for the Crest. On a regular basis, use a polishing cloth.
