If your silverware is stainless steel, you can buy stainless steel cleaner which is used fpr saucepans etc. Works a treat to remove the patina that builds up with use. If your silverware is silver, use a silver polish.
Baking soda and washing soda crystals are not the same thing.

soak in vinegar for about 15 min., rinse, let air dry.
