How to Clean 925 Sterling Silver
- 1). Pour some silver polish onto the soft cloth and work it into the fabric so that it is somewhat damp.
- 2). Rub the polish-infused cloth over the silver pieces to be cleaned, using gentle pressure to remove tarnish. If you are cleaning a chain, wrap the cloth around the chain and use vigorous strokes to clean all sides of the chain at the same time.
- 3). Finish by polishing with a clean soft cloth and store.
- 1). Line a pan or bowl with aluminum foil.
- 2). Pour hot, almost boiling water, into the aluminum foil. Use enough water to cover the items you will be cleaning.
- 3). Add plain table salt and baking soda to the water. For 2 cups of water, try using 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir.
- 4). Add your silver to the water mixture, making sure that the silver pieces are fully covered. Allow to sit for a few minutes while the tarnish dissolves.
- 5). Remove your .925 sterling silver items from the water, rinse and polish dry with a clean soft cloth.
