Question:

how do you clean sterling silver?

I have a silver ring that has some sort of white residue that i cant get off with soap and waterhelp?

Answer:

You will most likely have to drill the header in your attic for the wall you are trying to get inIf you were to shove your fish tape in the wall it will stop when it gets to the headerBest way is to drill down from the attic:-(
you should always run coax cable with staple gunGet the round stables which will not crush the cableIt a very snug fit and you can staple it along the wall, the floor or anything elseI have leave this from the cable guys and the phone guys.
I just installed whole house audio with speakers in the cieling of every roomI had to pull speaker wire from my basement up to the main level then into the attic.My rack system is in the family room of the basementI cut in remodeler boxes where all my slider switch volume controls were on the main levelI placed them next to where light switches were, then went into the attic pulling insulation back to see where that light switch came up to the lightI then drilled a hole a couple inches away from that wire and pushed my speaker wire down the wall to the box opening I cut outIt worked very well, much easier than trying to fish it upIt does help to have someone down below to pull the wire down while your up in the atticI then pushed a fish tape up the wall from the basement and pulled the speaker wire from the volume controls on the main level down to the basementGood luck and take your time.
Although some silver polishes and cleansers work well, a very fast, inexpensive and efficient way in which to clean silver is: Line a bowl with aluminum foilPlace the ring on the foilBoil some water and add some table salt to itAdd a cup of baking sodaOnce dissolved, pout this into the aluminum lined bowl with your ringThe tarnish caused by the sulfur will transfer to the aluminum and your silver is clean again.
