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 at home effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Assess the Silver Item
Check if it's solid silver or silver-plated. Plated items need gentler cleaning to avoid wearing off the coating.
Make Toothpaste Paste
Use plain white toothpaste (not gel or whitening). Apply a small amount to a soft cloth.
Rub in Circular Motions
Gently rub the silver in small circular motions. Work on one section at a time for even cleaning.
Rinse with Warm Water
Rinse the silver under warm running water. Make sure to remove all toothpaste from crevices.
For Intricate Pieces Use Baking Soda
Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water. Apply with a soft brush to reach detailed areas.
Dry Immediately
Dry with a soft microfiber cloth right away. Water spots can cause new tarnish to form quickly.
Pro Tips
- For antique silver, consult a professional before attempting cleaning
- Never use abrasive materials like steel wool on silver
- Polish silver regularly even if not tarnished to maintain its luster
