Silver jewellery is a timeless accessory that can elevate any outfit, but over time it can lose its shine and luster. Instead of rushing to the jeweler for a professional cleaning, why not try cleaning your silver jewellery at home? It's easier than you think!
What You'll Need
Gather some basic household items to clean your silver jewellery effectively:
- Warm water
- Mild dish soap
- Soft-bristled toothbrush
- Microfiber cloth
Step 1: Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Mix the solution gently to create a soapy mixture.
Step 2: Soak and Clean
Place your silver jewellery in the bowl and let it soak for a few minutes. Use the soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the jewellery, paying extra attention to intricate details or crevices.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
After cleaning, rinse the jewellery under warm running water to remove any soap residue. Pat it dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
Additional Tips
For stubborn tarnish, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the tarnished areas and gently rub with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Store your clean silver jewellery in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or pouches to maintain its shine.
With these simple steps, you can keep your silver jewellery looking as good as new without leaving the comfort of your home. Say goodbye to dull and tarnished pieces and hello to sparkling silver accessories!

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.
