Hot water, salt, and aluminum foil really works. Thanks!

I have a Tiffany heart necklace and it was looking really dull, so I used plain white toothpaste, an old toothbrush, and a little elbow grease, and wow what a difference! It looks brand new, LOVING IT! Thanks for the info. Theresa

Baking soda can also be used instead of salt. Works like a beauty!

Amazing! I was about to go out and try to find some kind of silver cleaning cloth, but Googled a question, instead. I had three BLACK silver chains, one with a cross, and one with a filigree heart. I also thought I smelled a slight sulfur odor…no problem. Soooo easy……no cost……..and I also thank the person who gave us the chemistry lesson. I thought it maybe was something like that. Can’t wait to share this info!

The salt and aluminum foil technique is working nicely on my husband’s cufflinks – thank you! I’m watching it work right now! I think it’s been in there for about 5 minutes and the tarnish is almost all gone!

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly cleaning a 10 year old silver baseball pendant my dad left me when he died.

Baking Soda instead of Salt works the same way and is much less abrasive to silver jewelry that contains Gemstones. I have cleaned my silver rings that have Emeralds and they look just as new as the day I bought them (using baking soda).

Also, the toothpaste works. I just cleaned an entire charm bracelet with it. It was easier to grab at the moment than the other materials and it went very quickly. I will try the water, salt and aluminum next time. Hallelujah! Thank you!! PS. I also enjoyed the chemistry lesson.
