Hi Rebecca, here's a how to! https://www.novica.com/blog/how-to-clean-and-care-for-sterling-silver-jewelry/
you can check Amazon, for a spray on, wipe off cleaner that works very well. I’m not able to send photo of it but I love it. But I have a lot of silver jewelry and it’s time consuming. Another that works well, is the one using aluminum .and a solution that you can probably find on Pintrest and Utube. You can dump several pieces in it and it cleans it pretty much by itself. Some pieces you might have to use a soft tooth brush to get into. ( chains...)
I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish like Wrights and dips like TarnX 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.

I sell silver jewelry and of course I have silver jewelry. The white toothpaste is an effective clean up on mildly tarnished jewelry. Also the jewelry wipes. But remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Tarnish is oxidation, which means it is the chemical reaction of a substance in contact with oxygen. The first rule I have with my silver is to limit its contact with air when I’m not wearing it. So, I store my pieces in tiny ziploc bags after I wear them (making sure they’re 100% dry before bagging). Another tarnish accelerant is salt. So it is very important to wipe off the jewelry you have worn before you put it away. A soft, dry cloth is good enough for this. If you have been wearing silver on a hot day I would highly recommend you give your silver a quick wash with soap and water, and polish dry with a soft cloth. You can air dry the rest of the way overnight (making sure the nooks and crannies are dry) before wearing again the next day or storing away. If you notice tarnish forming from the sweat, just use toothpaste instead of soap.
Hello Vanessa, Thank You for the smart reminder details of cleaning as well as storing my Silver Jewelry. I too store each item in individually small or tiny ziplock bags which fit each piece. Your absolutely right, perfect fit of each piece limits the amount of extra air space. I also include one of those small black treated papers to help deter the oxidation process inside each bag. Each piece of my jewelry is then organized by seasonal use and color then stored inside specially labeled zippered jewelry bags. I love my jewelry way too much not to give it such loving care. This also makes it easier to find what I want to wear coordinating with my outfits. Your lucky to be selling these treasures..do you have a website for them? Have a great day. ~ Rebecca H
