the review says "This jewelry cleaner worked great on my silver, gold, and diamond jewelry. All you do is put your jewelry in a basket and swirl it around in the cleaner and let it soak for a few minutes. Then you take it out and you can scrub it with the small brush that comes with the cleaner, although you probably won't need to. Then just rinse with water and dry. It made my jewelry look brand sparkling new."

I got a Polishing Cloth I think Sunshine is the brand , Hard work but it works .

[ruffneck_12]

soak it in muriatic acid

the acid will react with the oxide layer on the silver thus exposing shiny virgin silver

This method is pretty effective.... Ive done it before... Also when placing the foil in the pot its better to put a layer at the bottom then shred the foil in smaller pieces on top then add the baking soda.... After you pour the boiling water let it settle for about 3 minutes then take it out and if you find it needs more cleaning use a toothbrush and scrub it in that same water....

Many Thanks guys ..this worked good for me. The help was greatly appreciated. Will also consider investing into the jewelry cleaner since its on sale

[DjDaniel]

Have to try Hook's method, I used to always clean my silver with toothpaste.. lol

[hindian]

Autosol works wonders as well...

[Hook]

Ditto on the autosol, but I'd use it for larger pieces like thick ID bands or pendants with not too much detail, as you have to wipe/rub/buff out the autosol for it to be effective. It doesn't wash off like toothpaste.

[Dizzy28]

Toothpaste by itself has always done the job for me. Tried the Muriatic Acid which also does a good cleaning however its results are similar to the toothpaste and I rather not risk using a corrosive chemical if I do not have too.

[Hook]

Don't you still have to soak it in a baking soda solution to neutralize the acid after the cleaning?

I kinda weird about using the acid, but I was told it's what the jewellery stores use.
