Cleaning silver jewelries is easy. First off, you need to find a good silver cleaning product. It is not enough to just settle with products that ‘they say’ are good for cleaning silvers. It is important to choose the right cleaning products and tools that are specially designed for your precious silvers. Never use harsh cleaning products that contain bleach, ammonia, or alcohol as these can deteriorate the quality of the jewelries or worse, they can ruin the jewelry. Start by finding mild silver cleaners. You can find one at your nearest local hardware store. But if the tarnish is not that heavy, you can use baking soda diluted in water or few drops of liquid detergent mixed in water. This will work and will restore the silver’s shine.
When cleaning silver, always use a polishing cloth or a jewelry cloth. This is usually made up of two sheets of cloth - the outer layer is cotton and the inner layer contains special chemicals that will whiten the silver and make it look brand new. By using a jewelry cloth, any abrasion to the jewelry is prevented. This cloth usually lasts a dozen of uses so it is worth your money. When polishing silver jewelries, hand polishing is highly recommended to keep them shiny and to avoid damaging the jewelry surface.
