I've never heard of using aluminum foil and salt. Salt is corrosive
to silver, just like eggs (sulfur) and rubber.

The old time aluminum recipe called for "washing soda", i.e. laundry
soap, AFAIK. It works OK but it does remove all tarnish including the
patina silver has accrued. A good commercial polish works well.
Storing the pieces in "silver cloth" works well to retard tarnish, also.
