How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda to Clean a Tea Kettle. Vinegar cleans both the inside and outside of a tea kettle.

To clean pieces small enough to fit into a large pot, choose an enamel or aluminum pot; other materials may interact with your silver. If using an enamel pot, line the bottom of the pot with aluminum foil. Place your silver pieces in the bottom of the pot and pour in enough water to cover them. Add 1 tsp. each of salt and baking soda, and bring the water to a boil for 3 minutes. Once the water cools, plunge the silver pieces into warm, soapy water and scrub with a clean cloth. Polish the pieces dry with a second cloth.
