Silver cleaning

Any recommendations of a product I can order? Silver dip was what I would normally get but the effect just wears off and it stinks. Any ideas?

The effect will wear off and the silver will tarnish whatever you use as it is a chemical reaction with oxygen and sulphur pollutants.

You can get silver polishing cloths, which are less stinky. You can also use baking soda and foil but I've never tried it.

Baking soda, silver foil and hot water is zero effort and works really well - I always use it now and not smelly

Line a non metal bowl/dish with foil. Dump in a couple of tablespoons of baking soda in, then pour in boiling water to dissolve it. Then put the silver in and you will see bubbling and the tarnish going. You can then pick it out and put more in.
