Polish your silver with your own home-made tarnish remover. Line a glass pan with foil and place the silver into the pan, making sure that each piece touches the foil. Add four cups of boiling water, followed by a quarter cup of baking soda; double or triple the recipe as needed to completely cover the silver. The mixture will start to foam, and the tarnish will adhere to the foil (the process will take several minutes). Heavily tarnished pieces may require several treatments. Remove the silver from the pan, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. Store the silver on a sheet of foil to avoid future tarnishing. (This process is not recommended for silver-plated pieces.)
