We all know that silver jewelry will be oxidized due to exposure to air when they are worn, which is inevitable. And silver oxide will turn very dark. If you put it in the drawer and leave it alone, after a few weeks, it will be so dark that you can't recognize it. (Of course this is the characteristic of sterling silver jewelry, and it is also the best proof of 925 sterling silver's quality.) The silver oxide affects the luster of silver jewelry very much, how to make silver jewelry quickly restore light? Today, I am going to share some tips of how to clean silver jewelry.



No. 1 - Silvering Polish Cloth


The first and easiest way to do. To use a professional silver cloth to wipe the surface of the silver jewelry and restore the gloss quickly. This cloth has a special potion that can directly wipe off the silver black silver oxide and restore it to white. One thing to note is that the silver cloth can't be washed. If you wash it, the special potion will be washed off, and the cloth will not work.


No. 2 - Silver Cleaner(liquid)


Cleaning with professional silver cleaner is very simple, but if it is not handled well, it will also damage the silver jewelry. The most important thing is to control the soaking time, generally no more than 3 seconds, which can be shortened or lengthened according to the specific situation. If the oxidation is serious, you can soak for a few more seconds. After taking it out, wash it with water and dry it.



No, 3 - Silver Polish Cream


Usually customers will get a silver cream at the counter after purchasing. It is like toothpaste and it is very easy to use. Dip the cream on the dry cloth, and wipe the silverware directly. It will also form a protective film on the silver. You may try to ask the staff when you buy the jewelry.




Is there any more convenient and easy way to do it at home? Sure!


No. 1 - Toothpaste and soft brush


Wash with toothpaste and soft brush. It is important to note that do not use frosted particles of toothpaste, which will damage the silver surface. If it is a bracelet, necklace or anklet, you can dissolve the toothpaste in water first (the amount of water can completely cover the chain) and then soak the chain for about 20 - 30 minutes and then rinse it with water. If it is not white enough, repeat the method and then bubble again.


No.2 - Baking Soda


Baking soda can remove stubborn rust, but don't use it unless you don't mind the risk of damaging silver. It will fall off a layer of silver with rust. Make baking soda and warm water into a paste. Gently polish it.




No.3 - Tin foil and Salt


Wrap the ring and salt in tin foil, put the wrapped jewelry in the cup and pour boiling water above 80 degrees. After 5 minutes, remove the silver jewelry and wipe it with soft paper. The jewelry will be white and bright.
