what product to use to clean silver jewelry
Toothpaste, with its mild cleaning agents and gentle abrasives, is an effective single-ingredient cleaner for polishing silver (see References 5). Apply the toothpaste to silver with a clean cloth. For intricate pieces, use a clean, soft-bristled toothbrush.
Run the silver piece or pieces under running warm water, and dry with a clean cloth. Olive oil and lemon juice: Mix 1/2 cup lemon juice with 1 tsp. olive oil in a bowl large enough to hold the cleaning solution and a small microfiber cloth.
White vinegar and baking soda: Use this gentle cleaner to remove heavy tarnish thatâs preventing you from polishing your silver. Soak the tarnished piece in a solution of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tbsp. baking soda (be prepared for the fizzing!) for two to three hours, then rinse and dry.
