Things You'll Need:
- Baking pan
- Aluminum foil
- Boiled Water
- Large saucepan
- Soft cloth
- 1 tbsp. baking soda
- 1 tbsp. salt
Step 1
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, placing the foil shiny side up. The size of the baking pan used will depend on the amount of silver jewelry that you need to clean. All of the jewelry will need to be laid out flat on the aluminum foil, so you may need to clean the silver jewelry in intervals if you do not have a pan big enough.
Step 2
Place your silver jewelry on the aluminum foil, being sure not to layer it. None of the jewelry should be overlapping or touching. If one jewelry piece is covered by another, it will not be cleaned in the area that is covered.
Step 3
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. You will need enough boiling water to completely cover all of the silver jewelry in the baking pan. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the boiled water.
Step 4
Pour the boiling water into the baking pan, carefully. If you do not need the entire saucepan of boiling water to cover the silver jewelry, don’t use it all. You do not need to fill the pan completely to the top.
Step 5
Allow the silver jewelry to soak until the water cools. The heat from the boiling water will help to loosen and dirt or grime that is on the jewelry, so don’t rush the process.
Step 6
Remove the silver items from the baking pan when the water is completely cooled. Air dry the pieces and shine them with a soft cloth. (she ran her necklaces through a papertowel to wipe the dirt off instead, which she recommends)
