One way is to put a sheet of aluminum foil into a dish, pour in boiling water add a tsp of baking soda and add your sterling silver jewelry. No pieces with glued parts though.
I clean all of my silver with toothpaste. The white paste works best. Rub on with a soft tooth brush and rinse off with warm water. Dry thoroughly.
Some settings can discolor or come loose with the vinegar soak. If not sure try a silver polish cloth probably still find at Wal-Mart. They are reusable, no fuss or mess . :)
Hi Donna, I use a home made cleaning solution. It is: 1 tablespoon Salt, 1 tablespoon Baking Soda, 1 tablespoon Dish Soap (I use Dawn). 1 cup of water and a piece of aluminum foil. Cut the alum foil the same size as the bottom of the small bowl. Set it aside. Heat the water in your microwave for 1 or 2 mins. Put first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Pour hot water in and stir. Place your jewelry on the alum foil and put it in the bowl. Let it set for 10 minutes then rinse your jewelry with cool water. Dry with soft cloth. Discard the solution. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
You can make a paste of vinegar and baking soda or lemon juice and baking soda to gently clean and polishyour silver jewelry.
I always use a professional cleaner like Hagerty's - paste and cloths.
I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish and dips tend to remove some of the metal. The foil method doesn't work that great and still leaves a grey film that still needs to be removed. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. For large items I use a damp cloth. Also works on copper, brass, gold, porcelain, ceramics, sneakers, plastics, etc. For my sales I needed one product for cleaning everything.
