Jewelry cleaning solutions are another option for removing and preventing tarnish on sterling silver jewelry. These solutions will remove any and all oxidation, even on pieces that are meant to have oxidation to bring out textures and patterns.
If any of these solutions do not successfully remove the tarnish from the sterling silver jewelry, it may require a visit to a professional jeweler who can use more advanced equipment and techniques.
It is not recommended to use toothpaste or baking soda for cleaning tarnish, as they may scratch the surface of the silver.
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or acetone to clean your silver because they can make silver more dull and ruin the surface.
The most effective approach to removing and preventing tarnish on sterling silver jewelry is to properly store clean, dry sterling silver to prevent the tarnish in the first place! If tarnishing does begin to surface, cleaning it as soon as it appears will make the process much easier.
Removing and preventing tarnish on sterling silver jewelry is one of the best ways you can enjoy your beautiful pieces for years to come.
