Silverware Cleaner

This is especially good for pieces of silver that are difficult to clean.

3 tablespoons Ivory or Lux soap flakes
3/4 gallon water

In a large aluminum kettle, mix soap flakes and water and bring to boiling. Add silverware. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove silverware from water and rinse in hot water. Rub thoroughly with a soft, dry towel.
