Need advice on cleaning silver
Have a silver tray, it got molasses dripped on it that leaked thru a cabinet hole.
I want to clean it and so far soap and water have done nothing so I assume all that's left is tarnish.
I've read mixed things about using chemical tarnish removers as it could strip away intentional darkening which I can't even determine if this tray has.
I've also read about using aluminum foil but I feel like that might scratch things.
It's a tray with an etched pattern as well.
I've never cleaned silver before any advice.
