How to Clean Silver Jewellery at Home
Silver jewellery is timeless, but over time it can lose its shine because of exposure to air, sweat, and everyday wear. The good news is — you can bring back its sparkle without expensive cleaning services. Here’s a simple guide anyone can follow at home.
1. Use Warm Soapy Water
This is the easiest and safest method for most silver pieces. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water, soak your jewellery for 5–10 minutes, then gently rub with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush.
2. Try Baking Soda & Water Paste
If your silver has tarnish, mix two parts baking soda with one part water to make a paste. Rub it gently on the jewellery, rinse under cool water, and pat dry.
3. Use a Silver Polishing Cloth
For regular upkeep, invest in a good silver polishing cloth. It removes tarnish and gives instant shine without scratching the surface.
4. The Aluminium Foil Method
Line a bowl with aluminium foil (shiny side up), add hot water, a spoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Place your silver pieces inside for 2–3 minutes. This method helps remove stubborn tarnish using a chemical reaction.
How to Keep Silver Jewellery Shiny for Longer
- Store in an airtight pouch or box.
- Keep away from perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
- Wear your jewellery often — the natural oils in your skin help keep it polished.
