Mother would "polish" her silver plated flatware by boiling them in an aluminum pot with baking soda added to the water. They came out bright and shiny.
Thanks for posting, it worked AMAZINGLY!!!!!! I originally googled something that advised me to use white vinegar and baking soda and let it sit for 2 or 3 hours but my necklace restored within in minutes of using your technique. THANKS 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽😁😁😁
or hear me out buy a polishing cloth and a ultrasonic cleaning machine its like 40$ for both , saves you time and your jewelry will always look new and shiny
Just was it with a sponge and dish detergent now and then, before the tarnish gets too thick. Same with silverware. Use it, wash it, dry it and you'll never need to go through this.
You could have just used a commercial silver dip and got a better result and a commercial one is re useable. My solution is 5 years old and still works
Don't clean jewelry with tarnish shading or jewelry with glued in stones with this method, often pearls and stones like jade and turquois are glued into sets...great method but not universal...I've never used salt before..it works with baking soda only.
oh, I can't tell you how many destroyed silver-plated items I have brought to me after this process! Please -only sterling silver IF you have to do it this way. No antiques either. This is so dangerous for some mixed metals. Sterling usually works but not always.
People think they are “cleaning” silver using aluminum foil and baking soda and vinegar. Actually they are removing silver from the piece. It’s basic chemistry. Never do this especially to a silver plate item. You are reversing the electrolysis that puts the silver on.
This isn't reversing electrolysis, it's reversing the oxidation reaction of the silver (tarnish) which is actually the exact opposite of what you're saying. This method converts the black oxide back into the original silver so no silver is lost. When you rub the oxide off by polishing, you lose not only the converted silver in the tarnish but also abrade the untarnished surface underneath, losing even more metal. Please don't claim "basic chemistry" without knowing basic chemistry or you risk misleading people.
@@nikkil764 wrong. The oxidation you see on silver is sulfur bound to silver (silver sulfide). The redox reaction simply breaks down the silver sulfide compound and the sulfur attaches to the aluminum to create aluminum sulfide. The quantity of silver is not reduced. The only way silver is removed is if you physically remove tarnishing (removing the silver sulfide compound). Ex. Using an abrasive polishing method. This removed both silver and sulfur rather than just sulfur, like the aluminum baking soda method does.
So, so wrong. This process purely goes after the oxidisation and has zero effect on the plating, which is why we always use this for our most delicate and intricate silver pieces. Please don't "agree to disagree", your advice is just flat out incorrect. I have no wish to dunk on you, but you are continuing to argue the point even when presented with facts.
I use toothpaste hot water then cleaning solution from Amazon then use two jewelry polishing rags...ones for deep cleaning other is for polishing....mine looks 90 times better the this dudes
First clean with toothpaste with an old tooth brush..might have to get the brush wet makes easyer to move the toothpaste around…after scrubbing the jewelry wash with out water

I don’t understand how the best cleaning video doesn’t have many likes cuz the other ones suck
Deeno

dude, i was a lil concerned, BUT I tried this and it worked AMAZING!!! DEf recommend!!! I had a pendant that was almost black and it all shiny now.
Just so people know, the reason for the hairdryer is to prevent water spots. It doesn’t have anything to do with the cleaning/shinning process.
So it looks like all you need now is a mixture to clean grout that easy!
Screaming 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nag Try ko nag work
Great video. I did something similar to this long ago but the oven was included in cleaning. This seems much easier.👍
Excellent - I used to chop up the foil and add it like that but this is far superior.
cant really tell its dirty at the beggining looks clean to me, is it the bad camera angle?
It's all good for cleaning sterling silver but you cannot do this on highly polishes pieces without them going dull and having to re-polish them.
Great and helpful video thanks a million Lol!
i did it without the foil and it worked just fine. What's the purpose of the foil? it's not an active ingredient.
....to keep neck sweat and skin flakes off your bowl
The oxidation will or it's supposed to come off on the aluminum foil
@@introspectivetonysoprano hilarious 😂
Use your hands and clean with lightly wet baking soda. Old school and works.
easy steps thank u work so well with my necklace!
or hear me out buy a polishing cloth and a ultrasonic cleaning machine its like 40$ for both , saves you time and your jewelry will always look new and shiny
Works really good
Does this work fore white gold as well?
can I use this method on sterling silver 925 gold
What if you got no baking powder, can u use anything else.
Worked very well.
I'ma gonna try this , my chains are all tanished from the chlorine of the swimming pool I beleive. Thanks !
will this work for gold colour plated chains too?
Thank you buddy

Tried but not working for me.
Great video! Worked so well 🙂 Thank you.
Thanks for the video 👍

Yup
Silver dip is very harsh on the metal and removes silver as well as the tarnish. Professionals silver dealers never recommend using it.
Didn't work reliably for us. We used the toothbrush method instead and that did the job.
Awesome thanks 🙏
Worked
U didn't use hott water
The best part is, he had three hands.
Try adding vinegar next time for better results!
i was gonna say the same thing
Which veniger apple cider 1?? Or ny other I used this method silver changed into yellowish,, will it turn back to white colour?? Plz reply
@@prakritishah6898 put your silver on chlorine to make it look black, then do this till it’s white again. Trust me that works every time!

You don't need the salt.
It would take 10 seconds just to rub it with a cloth that the jeweler give you
Toothpaste baking soda in it

U should hv tried it only on a single item first
I use toothpaste
Tried keeping up with this guy but he turned it into a recipe
R u lacking brain cells
@Billy Anderson bro if u wanna play that you didn’t correctly punctuate that sentence so shutup
😄
Because, it is a recipe!
@Jose Mendez 😂
Why shiny side up?
I think it just looks better. Kind a "feel good" part of the whole process.
Also ich mag Käsetoast

Comet works better and is easier.

50 dollar peace still looks like shit
Oh !!!! PLEASE 👎
JUST BUY SOME SILVER CLEANING SOLUTION
OR A SILVER CLEANING CLOTH...
👎WHAT A WASTE OF TIME

Can you explain me the steps
First clean with toothpaste with an old tooth brush..might have to get the brush wet makes easyer to move the toothpaste around…after scrubbing the jewelry wash with out water
Amazon has cleaning solution with two rags they work great…take your time and your stuff will look great
@@trashivan6545 hope that helps brother
tarn-x is better than this method by far. i'd rather spend the money on that tbh
