how do i clean my silver necklace?
my boyfriend kindly asked if he could clean my silver tiffany necklace and bracelet set yesterday.he couldn't find the fairy liquid so used BLEACH!the set went black.i scrubbed for a while but no joy.then i left it in water.The black has gone a cream colour and it scrapes off.any suggestions on how to get it back to normal.
Things You’ll Need:
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup liquid dish soap
1/2 gallon water
Large pot
Aluminum foil
Big plastic stir spoon
Colander or strainer
Towel
Stove top
Step 1:
Line the inside of large pot with aluminum foil.
Step 2:
Pour all ingredients into the lined pot and stir with plastic spoon.
Step 3:
Gather the sterling silver jewelry that needs cleaning and gently drop them into the pot. Be sure to count the silver to ensure nothing gets thrown out later with the aluminum foil.
Step 4:
Bring the solution to a low boil. Let boil for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5:
Remove from heat. After the solution cools a bit, use a colander or strainer and pour out contents of pot. Rinse with cool water.
Step 6:
Count your pieces as you lay them on a towel to dry.
***************
Step 1:
Choose the right toothpaste. The key to using toothpaste as a silver jewelry cleaner is the baking soda. Do not use gel toothpaste, as it usually does not contain baking soda. And, avoid toothpastes that boast tartar-control or whitening power, as they may include chemicals that can harm your silver.
Step 2:
Use a soft dampened cloth to clean more delicate jewelry or softer silvers. Wet the silver and add a dab of toothpaste. Remember that a little goes a long way. Rub gently with the moistened cloth until polished.
Step 3:
Add a bit more toothpaste if the cloth becomes dark with tarnish and continue cleaning. Simply wash the darkened toothpaste foam from the jewelry piece, rinse the cloth and begin again.
Step 4:
Scrub your silver jewelry gently with a toothbrush for stubborn tarnish or hard to reach grooves. Try to find an old worn toothbrush or buy a new soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent scratching.
Step 5:
Rinse the polished silver jewelry in warm water and dry with a soft towel.

Tips & Warnings:
Toothpaste is an effective cleansing agent not just for your silver jewelry but also for your larger silver pieces.
While toothpaste may be the best and most economical method for cleaning silver jewelry, it can be abrasive and may scratch more delicate silver items. Always test a small area first, in order to determine whether your jewelry piece should be cleaned with toothpaste or not.
