on 6/30/2006 Line a heat proof glass dish with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Put silver jewelry on foil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon baking soda. Place very hot water over everything until it covers the silver. The baking soda bubbles up, it really does make the jewelry clean -- quickly too! However, I did take a towel to dry and polish them up a bit.
