How to make Tarnishing Metal & Silver Jewelry Shine again!?
Question:
I have some jewelry I can't tell if they're metal or silver, they're beginning to tarnish. So what do I have to do to make them shine again? Also I have a cool finger ring, I mean it covers the whole finger & it's also tarnishing. So what do I use on that?
Answer: I’ve used a mechanic tooth brush and tooth paste it seems to work for me. (tooth paste is mostly a polisher)
Step 1
Choose the right toothpaste. The key to using toothpaste as a silver jewelry cleaner is the baking soda. Do not use gel toothpaste, as it usually does not contain baking soda. And, avoid toothpastes that boast tartar-control or whitening power, as they may include chemicals that can harm your silver.
Step 2
Use a soft dampened cloth to clean more delicate jewelry or softer silvers. Wet the silver and add a dab of toothpaste. Remember that a little goes a long way. Rub gently with the moistened cloth until polished.
Step 3
Add a bit more toothpaste if the cloth becomes dark with tarnish and continue cleaning. Simply wash the darkened toothpaste foam from the jewelry piece, rinse the cloth and begin again.
Step 4
Scrub your silver jewelry gently with a toothbrush for stubborn tarnish or hard to reach grooves. Try to find an old worn toothbrush or buy a new soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent scratching.
Step 5
Rinse the polished silver jewelry in warm water and dry with a soft towel.
