Jewelry Clean silver jewellry

Submitted by Neil Springate

Just visited your site for the first time, so I hope this tip is not "Old Hat"

Using an old Aluminium saucepan, heat up a mixture of water and salt. Drop your silverware (or jewellry) into it and an electrolytic action takes place, instantly removing the silver tarnish. Note that the tarnish then stains the pan, so it is important to use an old one, and it MUST be aluminium. The tarnish will disappear from every crevice.

Have your say! Aluminium Comments By: Harpalyce on 2010-08-15 This also works if you use an old glass dish lined with ALUMINIUM foil. A small amount of water softener (like Calgon)helps the chemical reaction too.   Have your say!
