To clean silver from black at home, you can use special or improvised tools that are most likely available in your household kit. After that, any decoration will shine and will look like new.
Instruction manual
1
First of all, try to clean silver from black at home using an ordinary toothpaste. Put it on a soft flannel cloth and wipe the product thoroughly, then rinse off the paste. The same cleaning can be carried out using tooth powder or chalk.
2
Use any abrasive products available at home to clean silver from black. The most gentle means is ordinary baking soda. It well cleans any silver items from stubborn dirt. In addition, a quick method of whitening is boiling for 5 minutes in plain water (with little pollution) or in a Coca-Cola drink. You can also just dip the silver in a glass of cola and leave overnight.
3
Clean the silver with an alcohol solution. Pour a teaspoon of ammonia and 3 tablespoons of water into a deep cup. Add a couple drops of shampoo or dishwashing detergent, stir. Place silver in the solution and hold for several hours, stirring occasionally. Dry the product and wipe it dry with a soft cloth to remove any residual dirt.
4
Citric acid or lemon juice is an equally effective tool that allows you to clean even very darkened silver. Bring such a solution to a boil and place the product there. After 20-30 minutes, it should be removed and washed with a light soda solution, and then with tap water.
5
Put food foil on the bottom of a small container, place a silver product on top and fill it with hot water. In about 5-8 hours, the product should regain its shine. Instead of foil, at the bottom of the dishes, along with a silver decoration, you can put a piece of zinc, pouring hot soda solution. Keep silver in solution for 30 minutes, then wipe and dry.
6
You can clean silver from black at home using one of the special branded products that are sold in jewelry stores. Usually they come in the form of wet wipes or solutions. As a rule, liquid remedies are most effective against stubborn stains.
7
Add the purchased solution to the glassware and place the silver jewelry in it. Hold for the time specified in the instructions, then rinse in cool water. This method will require additional costs, but in the end you will get a virtually new-looking silver product.
Useful advice
Try cleaning silver with a simple stationery eraser. If the dark coating is not too stubborn, this tool will be quite enough.
