If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean silver effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Determine Silver Type
Identify if item is solid silver, silver-plated, or antique. This affects cleaning method.
Dust First
Wipe with soft dry cloth to remove dust. This prevents scratching during cleaning.
Use Appropriate Cleaner
For solid silver: aluminum foil method. For plated: gentle soap only.
Apply Silver Polish
If using commercial polish, apply small amount to cloth, not directly to silver.
Rub Gently
Rub in straight lines, not circles, following the grain of the silver.
Rinse and Dry
Rinse in warm water. Dry immediately and thoroughly with soft cloth.
Pro Tips
- Store silver in tarnish-resistant cloth or bags
- Wear cotton gloves when handling fine silver
