cleaning silver jewellery

spendaholic66

when I found a missing silver chain it was quite tarnished. Someone advised me to scrub it in toothpaste and it worked an absolute treat. It looked like brand new. I used an old toothbrush, covered it in toothpaste and just lightly scrubbed. Brilliant results and no cost!

I have used toothpaste to clean tarnishes silver jewellery as it contains bicarb of soda. It works really well.

Hi. I need some OS ideas on how to clean my sterling silver St Christopher that I wear all the time please. On the face of it it's gone cruddy and looks awful :eek:
Thank you in advance Jo x.

Line a dish with crumpled then smoothed aluminium foil, place item on top, sprinkle with baking soda and pour in boiling water.

Rinse in clean cold water and dry.

Salt, silver foil and boiling water should do the trick.

Or use some toothpaste and an old toothbrush and rinse with hot water.

Using bicarb and silver foil will remove the patina and leave the silver looking whitish and very unattractive.
Buy some Silvo.

Toothpaste on an old toothbrush will bring it up a treat.

Best way is ultrasonic cleaning to remove all the dirt. Most jewellers will offer this service, or you can buy your own ultrasonic cleaner.
