How do I clean silver?

Hi, Sharon! Probably the cheapest and easiest way is with plain old fashioned white toothpaste with no gel or anything added. Use a rag and an old toothbrush (for getting into the more intimate parts) with just a bit of water. The foil method and Dipit type cleaning takes a little of the silver off each time you use that method. The toothpaste also easily rinses off with hardly any rubbing. If it is really badly tarnished it may take a second cleaning, but most likely would have had you used the messy silver polish. I hope this helps you clean the silver before company comes! Have a great Holiday Season!

I Use Weimans Silver Polish.

Toothpaste with Baking Soda.

Slather it with ketsup and about 2 hrs later wash it off and dry with microfiber cloth.

How to Clean Silver, Easily!

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.

Hi Sharon - This is the most effective and all-natural silver cleaning and polishing method that we use. It's also been featured by Hometalk. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

These are many ways to clean your silver, try one of these:

No more tarnishing with aluminum

Boil 4 cups of water, a tablespoon of baking soda, and some aluminum foil. Place silverware in for 10 seconds then remove with kitchen tongs.

Ketchup isn’t just for eating

Tarnished silver can be polished with ketchup using a paper towel – for silver that has crevices, use a toothbrush.

Kill two birds with one stone

When using Windex to clean your windows, spray some on a rag and use it to scrub your silver.

Brush your silver with toothpaste

Use circular motions to brush non-gel and non-abrasive toothpaste onto silver. Leave on for five minutes before washing off with water.

Use soda for tarnished silver

Fill a plastic bowl with lemon-lime soda and place slightly tarnished silver in it for one hour. Rinse and dry with a paper towel.
