Homemade Silver Cleaner & Cleaning Solution For Hairbrushes/Combs

Silver Cleaner
1 piece of aluminum foil
1-2 tablespoons of baking soda
2 quarts of very hot water

Lay your aluminum foil in your stopped up sink.  Add baking soda.  Add water.  Add silver.
That's it.  Really works. Try it, you'll see.

Note:  Don't let stainless steel and silver items touch each other; a chemical reaction between the two metals may cause silver to become pitted.
Note to self:  Must add baking soda to shopping list.  More than one box. 

Solution for Hairbrushes and Combs
2 teaspoons shampoo
1/4 cup vinegar
sinkful of warm water

Remove loose hair and soak for several minutes.  Scrub clean using nail brush.  Rinse with warm running water.  Let air dry.
