Clean Tarnished Silver Jewelry

,

Remove the tarnish from your silver jewelry with a few household items.


Cleaning tarnished silver jewelry is easy using items you probably already have in your home. It can be a chore to get your jewelry looking shiny and new again, but it is possible. Cleaning your jewelry with non-toxic home items is much better for you and just as efficient as the chemical jewelry cleaning solutions that retailers sell. You'll be surprised how common items can restore your tarnished silver jewelry to its former glory.


Instructions


1. Pour the salt and baking soda into the aluminum pan.


2. Cover the powders with some hot water.


3. Stir the mixture up to dissolve the salt and baking soda.


4. Place your jewelry into the solution and let it sit for a few minutes. Check it periodically and see if the tarnish is coming off. The aluminum causes a chemical reaction with the salt and baking soda called oxidation, which will restore the shine to your silver jewelry.


5. Dry your jewelry with a soft cloth.
