Mothers metal polish works the best
Alot of the cleaners made for silver polishing (like TARN-X) are super toxic and say right on the bottle that they can cause cancerYuck - not in my house! I use toothpaste and a soft ragI keep my cleaned silver in an airtight bag to keep it looking good longerAnd of course, for jewelry - the more you wear it the less you have to shine itIt mixes with the oils on your skin and stays shiny and tarnish-free.
Definitely not bleach, that will darken and tarnish silverI use that to get an antique look on my jewelry after I finish itTarnex, in a bottle available at your local store, or another one called Maas metal polish, it keeps your silver from retarnishing for a long long timeBaking soda, salt, detergent and water.
You will need the following:- A pan or dish large enough to completely immerse the silver in Aluminum foil to cover the bottom of the pan Enough water to fill the pan A vessel in which to heat the water Hot pads or kitchen mitts with which to handle the heated water vessel Baking soda or Tide, about 1 cup per gallon of water Line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foilSet the silver object on top of the aluminum foilMake sure the silver touches the aluminumHeat the water to boilingRemove it from the heat and place it in a sinkTo the hot water, add about one cup of baking soda for each gallon of water(If you need only half a gallon of water, use half a cup of baking soda.) The mixture will froth a bit and may spill over; this is why you put it in the sinkPour the hot baking soda and water mixture into the pan, and completely cover the silverAlmost immediately, the tarnish will begin to disappearIf the silver is only lightly tarnished, all of the tarnish will disappear within several minutesIf the silver is badly tarnished, you may need to reheat the baking soda and water mixture, and give the silver several treatments to remove all of the tarnishGood Luck!!
