Sterling Silver
Silver jewelry can be easily cleaned using items you have around the house.
Tarnished necklaces, pendants and bracelets can sparkle like new with a
simple combination of baking soda, tin foil and hot water.
Cleaning Silver with Baking Soda -
If you'd like to save your toothpaste for your teeth, then try cleaning your
silver with a bit of baking soda.
Line a large bowl or a small bucket with tinfoil with the shiny side facing
outwards. Place silver items into the foil-lined container Pour in hot
water to cover the items that need to be cleaned. Add baking soda to
the water until it begins to fizz. Allow the silver to soak for about half an
hour. Remove the silver from the water, rinse and dry.
Baking soda can also be used to clean large pieces of silver without using
the dipping method that is explained above. For these larger pieces you
will want to combine baking soda with water to form a paste. Dip a clean,
damp sponge into the paste and rub it onto the silver. The longer you leave
the paste on the silver, the more tarnish you will remove. Finish by rinsing
the silver with hot water and drying.
Keeping the Environment Happy -
There are many silver cleaning products on the market these days, but
non-toxic toothpaste and baking soda remain the most popular
cleaning products for keeping silver shiny and beautiful.
