I wonder how H2O2 with baking soda in it would work. The H2O2 converts the metallic silver to sparingly soluble silver oxide (and back again), but as soon as it is converted to silver oxide, the baking soda reacts with it making silver carbonate, which is very soluble, and locks it in so it cannot be converted back to silver metal by the H2O2. I suspect that other things that will lock in the silver into a soluble compound would work as well, including vinegar (acetic acid) and ammonia (ammonium hydroxide), but the baking soda would certainly smell better.
