How to Make Jewelry Cleaner at Home

Things You'll Need:

* Casserole dish
* Aluminum foil
* Baking soda
* Dishwashing liquid
* Salt
* Strainer
* Polishing cloth

#
Step 1

Heat 1 cup of water in a casserole dish in a microwave for 2 minutes. You can boil the water on a stovetop, but it isn’t necessary.
#
Step 2

Line the casserole dish with a piece of aluminum foil. The foil does not have to entirely cover the bottom of the dish, but it should be large enough to accommodate your jewelry.
#
Step 3

Add 1 tsp. of baking soda, 1 tsp. of dishwashing liquid and 1 tsp. of salt to the dish. When mixed together, the ingredients will cause effervescence.
#
Step 4

Place your silver jewelry into the homemade cleaning solution and allow it to set for 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure the silver is in contact with the aluminum.
#
Step 5

Remove the jewelry from the cleaning mixture and rinse with cool water. Place the jewelry in a strainer before you rinse it, so you don't lose any small items.
#
Step 6

Buff the silver jewelry with a rouge cloth. Use a cloth designed to remove the remaining silver sulfide (the black coating that tarnishes silver).
#
Step 7

Discard the cleaner after each use. The ingredients break down over time, and will not be as effective as a fresh mixture made for each new cleaning.
