I have tried this for cleaning silver puja items and it worked wonderfully.
but, a small change to make it easier - I just filled a plastic bowl with hot water from the sink tap then added foil and 2 tbps each of table salt and baking soda and soaked the silver puja items.... no scrubbing....nothing it comes out clean and clear like new silver items...
however , my DH told me that It shouldnt be done often as it may have effect the total weight of the silverware. so, I do it once in 3 months or so
