Tarnish-Free Silver with NO WORK!

I love silver jewelry.
But the silver that I don't wear everyday gets tarnished really fast because the air here is so humid!
Lots of jewelry is really hard to polish because chains and other intricate items are impossible to reach inside the nooks and crannies.

Grandma didn't go out and spend a bunch of money on chemical silver cleaner!
She would sit for hours and buff it to a glorious shine....
Until she found this great tip to "NO WORK" Tarnish-Free Silver!

Here we go!

What You'll need...

a glass baking dish.

aluminum foil big enough to line the baking dish.

steaming HOT water to fill the foil lined baking dish.

Salt

Baking Soda.

Tarnished silver.

Here are some of my tarnished silver pieces.

Line your baking dish with aluminum foil. Fill your foil lined baking dish with steaming hot water.

Add 2-3 teaspoons Salt

&

2-3 teaspoons Baking Soda.

and give it a little stir to dissolve the salt.

add your silver into the solution.

You want your silver pieces to be touching each-other

And touching the foil.

Let your silver soak in the salt/baking soda solution for about 5 minutes.

If you watch closely you can actually see the tarnish leave your silver!!

After soaking, remove your silver... rinse it off..

dry it (you can buff it to a high shine if you want)

and look at the tarnish free silver!!

See how purty and sparkly it is now?

and I didn't even get my hands dirty!

Thanks Grandma!

• Be careful use this cleaning solution on jewelry that include gems. Especially porous gems like pearls or turquoise could be damaged by the liquid.
  
  
• Be careful when polishing or dipping silver plated items. Any damage or imperfection in the plating could allow the liquid to attack the base metal underneath. The plated silver would look shiny and clean, but could be weakened on the inside.
  
  
  
• Wearing your silver jewelry will keep it free from tarnish.

Go forth and clean your silver!!
