Vinegar and aluminum foil cause an "electrolytic" reaction with silver where silver plates to the aluminum effecting reverse current cleaning by stripping silver ions off.
 Any electrolyte will work.....salt water does just as well as Vinegar.

 Distilled water works, but very slowly at first.
..or milk in a farmers steel milk can. [Just "how" does dropping a coin into the milk release ions into the milk to keep it fresh???] Iron may work even better than aluminum. [There being a silver iron battery..but iron rusts and aluminum doesn't]

This is also how Curads silver bandaids work to introduce silver ions into a wound. It has fine fibers of silver layered over fine fibers of aluminum and uses body fluids as the electrolyte
