I have not tried this on cloth of silver, but I have used it to clean other silver things--those "magic" silver cleaners are blocks of aluminum that you put in water with a 1:1 solution of baking soda and salt. It really does work, and then if you rinsed the cloth with a weak vinegar solution to restore the acid balance of the silk it should probably be ok without having to rub the cloth at all.

On the cloth of gold thread, Bess mentioned cloth of silver. I have a small piece (about 1 yard square), but it is tarnished where it was exposed to the air when folded. Any ideas on how to remove the tarnish from the silver without harming the silk? Sharon C.
