the best jewerly cleaner I have ever found was in my kitchen......some say toothpaste, which is good, but baking soda and lemon and a toothbrush makes a shine you'll never get unless you have taken it in for a professional cleaning.
Baking soda or tooth paste scrub, followed my a mild acid polish, such as lemon or vinegar.
The best remedy: Line a sink or dish with tin foil. Get some Electrosol dishwashing powder. Put a spoon or two into a sink or dish and add hot water. The powder ionizes with the tin and removes the oxidization on your silver. Works like a charm! I use it all the time!
Ketchup or barbecue sauce just make sure you use a rag to rub it off good or it will get sticky.
Baking soda.
make a paste using baking soda and water and use a soft cloth or old t shirt to continually rub it on the item and rinse
i use toothpaste and after that i put them in the dishwasher to rinse of the toothpaste, imediately after the dishwasher is done i dry them with a clean soft cloth. works every time
Baking soda. my mom and I used to this every year. Using baking soda and warm water, make a paste, and clean away the tarnish on your silver. Wash with soap and water when done.
