Cleaning Silver

Cleaning your sterling silver

Need to clean your sterling silver quickly, but can't get to a jeweller??

Try this but remember, many gemstone settings can't be cleaned in this way

Grab an aluminium trake away container from the local supermarket, fill it with enough very hot, but not boiling water to cover the piece you are cleaning, add about a table spoon of bi-carb of soda and place your silver in, the tarnish should start to come off very quickly. Remenber the silver must be in contact with the aluminium tray.

After cleaning rinse under running water, and dry with a soft cloth. Use a small amount of polishing wax to keep the shine a little longer

NOTE: Use this hint at your own risk, though I use this method myself
