Brilliant, just tries this and i found it worked the first time – i just left the piece in for a longer period than the video. Definately more effective than an impregnated silver cloth – and cheaper…
it’s a lot easier if you put the piece in an actively boiling pot on the stove. The bubbles from the boil act as an agitator and you don’t have to do it more than once, you just leave it in the pot longer.
Great video, I am pretty sure if you use arm and hammer Washing Soda (similar too baking soda but chemically different and harder to find) it will clean it perfectly in one try.
its pronounced ‘alu-min-ium’. There are to i’s.
gonna try it with my chain :) hope it looks cleaner after ur demostration it should :)
does this work on charriol too?
Awesome… i was just looking at my jewelry the other day and thinking, I really need to clean it all…. i cant wait to try this!! Thanks so much!
you don’t have to wash it that many times, just leave it soaked for longer, check back after 10 minutes and it should be done
i’m about to try this. i hope it works for me. :]
the aluminum pan is critical. type “Nurdrage” into your searchbar up top, hit enter. with just a little research you can find out how/why this process works
add simple table salt to the baking soda and water….the process works faster
thanks lady :D I cleaned my necklace and it went from semi-black to spanking brand new thanks :D
hi nice tube a hope you see my tube about tiffany & co
what that other person said was uncalled for, but it is easier if you just leave it in the water for about thirty minutes, you really dont have to re do it over and over… i just tried it with a badly tarnished black bracelet, came out sparkling silver without me messing with it at all save to flip it once.
Can i do this with baking soda toothpaste?
Yes it does! I just tried it with my Return to Tiffany’s bracelet and it worked like a charm!
so this works on tiffany and co necklaces too?
its good to clean your diamonds too. Most real stones have holes behind them in the mount so you can clean them.
I have learned to love toothpaste as a cleaner for my Sterling. Just a fast rub down with the toothpaste then rinse it off. removes most tarnish in seconds. (NOTE: Some people say this puts fine scratches you can’t see but never bothers me and don’t use on valuable coins.) Cheap silver is ok…
that’s why i don’t like silver they require high maintenance unlike platinum and diamonds.
You can make this easier by just putting the water in first, and some baking soda and then stir it up. Then put anything in there, the longer it remains the cleaner it gets. You dont need the baking soda all over the silver cause the soda is only ment to make the water carry electricity by salt or something.
for a dirty piece like that….. heres a tip: rub it with baking soda before u dump it in the water. depending on the size of the chain put some baking soda (dry) in a bowl about 2tbsp and put the chain in and rub away u can use ur fingers or a soft bristle toothbrush to get into small details then dump it in the wash described in the video.
Thanks a lot for the tip – I had seen it on TV before but forgot to try it. I just cleaned my daughter’s baby bangle (my sister had put it on her kids and gave me it back in a terrible state) and I just tried cleaning it with your method and its came up like a new pin =D
The chemical reaction is between the aluminium, the sterling silver and the baking soda. (So if you have an aluminium pot, it would work or you could put al foil in the boiling hot water with baking soda until it’s clean. You would see the tarnish start to coat the al – foil)
dam sexy voice …… so wat u doin later u wanna hang out? lol im in australia anytime u here just holla
I had no idea that baking soda could bring back the sparkle!
Many thanks for this great video.
