    I clean my silver wedding photo frame with toothpaste, works very well and easily. just rub on and off with a soft cloth, ie a duster.

    Hi Guys, I'm sure one of you experts will be able to help me. I have a silver ring which is reallt tranished and dull. I always used to just pop it into a tub of that Silver Dip stuff and then it came out lovely and shiny.

    I can't afford to buy this anymore, so is there something else I can use to clean the silver ring??

    Thanks guys :):D

    Washing soda and aluminium foil does the same job as silver dip.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Hi!
    I don't wear any rings myself but my mother in law says she cleans hers but putting really hot water in a bowl and mixing a 1 spoon of salt and 1 spoon of baking powder. She just mixes it and dips it in, and wioes with a soft cloth.
    I hope this helps!

    I have some earrings that tarnish - I use a plain old kleenex style tissue, and rub hard! Works a treat.

    I clean my wedding photo frame with toothpaste. Just rub it in with a duster or other soft cloth. If the ring is not flat edged maybe you could use a soft toothbrush to get it into the bits you cannot reach and then rinse it off.

    I use toothpaste and an old toothbrush to get into any nooks and crannies. Brings silver up a treat and smells nice to boot!
