silver jewelry - is baking soda okay?
i have a nice piece of silver that is starting to show a lot of tarnish...i googled for some silver jewelry cleaner and came up with this...
2 qt. boiling water
4 tsp. baking soda
Line the bottom of a large enameled pan with aluminum foil. Place silver on the foil. Pour water over silver, covering it completely. Sprinkle in baking soda. Let silver sit in the solution for 5 minutes, then remove it. Wash the silver in hot, sudsy water; rinse, and dry. Buff to a shine with a soft cloth.
is this safe or will it hurt my jewelry???
it is real, 925 silver. you know, the good stuff. not the wal-mart "sterling silver" shit
no offense to any wal-mart shopper. (i shop there too)
1) don't assume people have children. i am only 18...
2) COKE? ARE YOU F****ING CRAZY?!
I have always used Wright's Silver Cream, available in grocery stores. This removes tarnish and also safely polishes. A raggedy old wash cloth works well. Highly in favor of polishing cloths. But sometimes more muscular help is needed.
Baking soda in aluminum will work, especially if heated, but that is a hard way to go...and it does not polish, so you have to make polishing a separate operation. The stink is sulfur dioxide, which is definitely not good to inhale. Tooth paste contains an abrasive, which will polish but has no effect on tarnish -- except by mechanical abrasion. Some toothpastes contain more (or coarser) abrasives than others. I absolutely avoid harsh liquid tarnish removers.
Tip: If you have marcasite jewelry, never give it any liquid treatment that removes tarnish. The liquid will get into the purposely black -- oxidized -- crevices and clean out those, too. Paste on a rag, not a brush, is best.
