It is pretty much an electrolysis setup but without the need for electricity or battery power.
Put tin foil in a bowl, add hot water, add some washing soda (a.k.a Soda Ash BUT NOT Caustic Soda as that will eat away your silver). You will see it bubbling away, then drop in your item and make sure it touches the tin foil in order for the "electrolysis" to work. Leave for a few minutes then take out, most tarnish gone but still looks a bit scruffy, so then I polish with Silvo or some sort of silver polish, then dry off with dry cloth. Thats it. PS - Try at your own risk.
