Wright's Silver Paste.I've always wanted to try the baking soda and aluminum foil trick.

It does, though it's harder to remove the blue than the tarnish. I'm asking if anyone knows why my silver is blue all of a sudden...This happens when someone handles them who has been in close proximity to firearms. You know blued steel ones. Just kidding. Silver cleaner should take care of it.
Did you just call her a bluehair?Blue hair dye?
Just askinā.
Are you being a butt??? Surely not! lol.Blue hair dye?
Just askinā.
I've been known to have hot pink streaks in my hair.....but no blue.Did you just call her a bluehair?
Nope!Eat eggs recently? Or have gas stove?

Same everything, soap, me, water (I hope it's not the water).....Have you changed the dishwashing soap youāve been using?

How do I fix it? Is it bad for me? I filter the drinking water. The well has a lot of iron in it, always has.Itās being exposed to hydrogen sulfide, probably coming in the tap water but low enough that you donāt smell it.
You can try using bottled water for a day and see if that clears it up, if it does then you know. Best thing would simply be not to soak the silver.How do I fix it? Is it bad for me? I filter the drinking water. The well has a lot of iron in it, always has.
Great idea, and thanks.You can try using bottled water for a day and see if that clears it up, if it does then you know. Best thing would simply be not to soak the silver.
I use Mom's sterling silver flatware every day, have since 1997.
Recently I've pulled some out of the tumbler I keep them in before washing them and they're blue!
Any ideas? Nothing has changed on my end that I know of.

Left spoon is as they look all the time.
By tumbler I meant a plastic drink glass, not a brass tumbler.Looks like your silverware has come in contact with Sulfur.
Are you using the same medium in the tumbler, for the silver ware and gun brass?
If so its the gun powder residue from the brass. The gun powder contains sulfur and the sulfur is reacting with your silver ware.
We have cleaned our silver with the aluminum, baking soda and hot water method with great success. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
Plastic cup/container. Guess I should have used another term, but I wasn't thinking brass tumbler, and "plastic glass" didn't sound right.....lol.@Millie when you say ātumblerā that you are keeping them in, do you mean just like a cup/container?
Or do you mean a tumbler (machine) like we use to clean brass ammo cases or polish rocks?
You have to consider your audience.Plastic cup/container. Guess I should have used another term, but I wasn't thinking brass tumbler, and "plastic glass" didn't sound right.....lol.
I know, right?You have to consider your audience.
I dragged all that stuff out of the silver chest as soon as I moved here to take care of Mom. I figured, why not use it, it's lovely!It could be worse Millie. I was recipient of Mom's silverplate. Over time silever polish removes the plating. Fortunately, I learned this early and merely wash with regular dishwashing soap and use a soft cloth to polish the heck out of it to return to proper luster.
Also, the stuff is much too "froo-froo" (Victorian) for me. I so very rarely use it.
