Baking soda? I've used baking soda paste (half baking soda, half water) to get tarnish off of silver jewelry. I don't know how silk reacts to baking soda, though.

I have a small piece (about 1 yard square), but it is tarnished where it was exposed to the air when folded. Any ideas on how to remove the tarnish from the silver without harming the silk?
