If you're a wearer of silver jewellery, this quick trick may change your life forever. I rarely shine my jewellery, since using an old fashioned cloth takes a bit too much time and elbow grease. I did some research and discovered a fool-proof way of removing the tarnish from any silver piece, without much effort.
All you're going to need is:
↠ Aluminum foil go.magik.ly/ml/xbja/
↠ Baking soda go.magik.ly/ml/xbjc/
↠ Boiling water go.magik.ly/ml/xbje/
↠ Silver Polishing Cloth go.magik.ly/ml/14b84/
↠ Anti Tarnish Tabs here: go.magik.ly/ml/1ehci/
Note that this method of cleaning can potentially ruin gemstones or diamonds which have been inlaid into a jewellery piece. I would recommend using a polishing cloth for a "jewelled" item.

The smell that comes off is actually hydrogen gas. When the corrosive (baking soda) is mixed with a metal (aluminium foil) and then catalyzed with heat (boiling water) a reaction occurs. This is because the sodium in the baking soda and the aluminium form a presipitate (sodium aluminate) and release CO2 (carbon dioxide)and H2 (Hydrogen gas). The electrolysis which cleans the silver occurs because the Aluminium is electronegative and the silver is electropositive, so when they touch a sort of electric current is created. That being said Hydrogen gas (and carbon dioxide) is quite toxic... I would not suggest holding it anywhere near your face and always be sure to do this in a well ventilated area. Hydrogen gas is also volatile, so make sure you are nowhere near any open flames or ignition sources... sorry for the long winded comment. It just seems that many people are noticing the "funny smell" when they clean their silver, so I thought I would share some insight & help people avoid potential dangers.
Hydrogen gas does not smell. The smell comes from hydrogen sulphide gas (also given off by rotting eggs) which is formed when the aluminium sulphide product reacts with water. This site www.compoundchem.com/2013/12/16/removing-tarnish-silver/ gives an excellent explanation of the reaction.

I have a pandora bracelet that is very badly tarnished. I wanted to cry as I have had the bracelet a long time and my dad that died a year and a half ago bought it for me. I found your video and followed it exactly and my bracelet is now shiny thank you :)
Michelle Crook Thank you so much for sharing this with me Michelle, I’m so glad I helped you! What a special memory, sending hugs to you. Make sure to subscribe for more content like this! ❤️
why did my pandora bracelet turned yellowish after i cleaned it using this method?? :(( does a expired aluminium foil has have to do with it??
@@lysue8137 probs 😂
I just use toothpaste on my pandora look good
Pandora does cleanings for free by the way !
I used this to cleaned an old pair of earnings I loved, stoped using due to being very tarnished. This method worked so well it looks brand new, when I took it out after soaking it, I then used an old toothbrush and dishwasher soap and srubed a little. Definitely recommend!! Will be using other my other pieces for sure
So glad this worked for you 😍❤️ please subscribe for more!
You seem like a very sweet person. Thanks for the tip. I will give this a try.

Thanks so much for this. I used this to polish my late grandmother’s jewellery, and it looks good as new! 💍

Thank you so much for this! I’m just a broke high school student and I recently found my parents’ wedding ring-it looked very umm old and I wanted to keep it clean and like new. (They’re divorced and are both living in 2 different countries, so I just wanted to keep this as a remembrance)
That's cute, i like wearing items that have history or special memories linked.
Such a sweet story! Please subscribe if you haven't already ☺️
Did it work? I’d imagine a wedding ring would be platinum or white gold rather than silver.
Be careful not to scratch your jewelry with the fork! Otherwise this works really nicely.
Thanks for the tip! Have a great day and please subscribe for more :)
I placed my sterling silver in a baggy with a few silica pouches these come in mostly everything shoes,purses etc save and use.
@@AG-yz6ni yes I've heard of that trick! My recommendation would also be to ensure you don't put more than one piece of jewellery in each bag. I find they can make eachother tarnish when they touch. I also linked to some mini bags in my post and description if you need. Take care!
i know Im pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new series online?
@Maverick Hamza i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
This works very well... and to always use a silver polishing cloth actually, over-time, wipes away the valuable metal. This method does not require any polishing strength or effort and makes everything nearly 100% brand new again.
Glad to hear! Yes I agree, this is a perfect alternative to using a cloth or cream and gets into nooks and crannies so much better. Thanks for watching and please subscribe for more!
Many, many thanks. Mom died 4 years ago and dad last week .i bought a plate in 1981 for an anniversary it looked a mess. I found your video tried on some other things first. So today got a big bucket went out on drive and had some fun. I can now see some spots where mom had used silver cleaner. Most impressed and again thank you.
Wow, what a special memory and I'm so happy I could be a part of restoring this item! You're very welcome Chuck. Please subscribe for more!
I used this method for a silver Egyptian Ankh pendant that was moderately tarnished and it worked magnificently. Thank you!

Thanks! I thought my silver bracelet was ruined. I couldn’t get the tarnish off with silver polish. This worked like a dream and only took as long as boiling the water!

🌸Just cleaned my (Metropolitan Museum of Art) Empire City Charm Bracelet and I couldn’t be happier with how your remedy works! It’s amazing! Thank you, Madeline!🌸
That is fantastic news Michelle! Thanks so much for sharing that with me :D
I have worn silver jewelry for years and years and never taking my necklaces off, I would only clean them about once a year when they got a little tarnished. For some strange reason now that I’m having some health issues my necklaces are getting so dark so quick that I have to clean them every 2 months. Thank you for your video 🌻
I feel like this comment needs a lot more attention.

Madeline, you're the first "intelligent" person that is absolutely right when you say that it doesn't matter which side of the Aluminum foil goes up (shiny or dull) as this happens because of the manufacturing process as one side goes against the "rollers" as the foil is rolled onto its carboard core.
Thanks for the cleaning process. God bless. 🖖🏼🤟🏼

Thank you so much! I thought all hope was lost on my grandmother's ring because it is not stamped... but her best friend made it for her so I suspect that's why. It came clean after repeating this process twice. I had tried solutions I'd ordered on amazon and nothing worked but this! I could cry I'm so happy. Again - thank you so much! I also appreciated the Little Mermaid reference :)

Thank you for this video. Regarding the non tarnish tabs? what are they? I haven't seen them anywhere before. I think they don't sell them where I live, or do they in some special shops?

Anna Levina-Zubarev yes ma’am! so glad it worked 🥳
I have so much tarnished JH. This is good to know! Did your piece have some gold mixed in?
This works so well, thank you! I do have a question, does this affect stones at all in a negative way? Such as quartz, opals, tourmaline etc?
This should only be done on silver pieces with no gems Aileen. use a polishing cloth or silver cleaning cream in areas with stones. Thanks so much for watching and please subscribe!! xx
Does this menthod work with Vivienne Westwood silver orb pendant necklaces? I want to make sure it won't ruin the necklace even more if I tried to clean the tarnish from it. 😣

Hi Madeline my question is what if i don’t have the none tarnish tub. Can I put my jewelry in the plastic bag?
I will never go to Pandora and wait an hour for them to try to only half clean my bracelet again. This works so much better. The silver is amazing…the rose gold plated got clean but not as much. Thanks for this tip!

I’m so sorry I have trouble understanding but will this method work for 925 recycled sterling silver? I’m afraid of damaging it, thank you 😊
Amy Tran yes as long as it is stamped! I’ve never heard of recycled silver but if it’s 925 it works. Thanks a lot and subscribe for more!
I just want to say thanks for sharing your method and it worked like a charm for me! I originally tried a method that was similar where I rubbed the baking soda directly onto the item with a little water mixed in and while it worked it took several tries and wayyy longer. With this method I didn’t even have to use the fork or anything it lifted the tarnish so quickly! This is my new go to method as I like to wear my necklace in the shower which causes it to tarnish a little
Fantastic! Please subscribe if you haven't already ☺️
Very effective, thank you!

Aww I loved the Little Mermaid reference

I have silver rings with orange stones. Will the stone be affected by this method?
Works great!!! To make it a little more effective, add the baking soda with lime, let it sit for 1 min & then add the boilingwater and it works great, do it twice & honestly back to new.
Wow cool tip, thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching as well and please subscribe for more :)

Question! I have a silver Cuban link chain that has tarnished pretty dark around the clasp. I tried this and it got rid of some, but not all the tarnish. After 2-3 days of wesring the tarnish comes right back. Is it safe to do this process multiple times throughout the week?
Take off the chain in the shower or if you go swimming in chlorinated water. The tarnish shouldn't come back when the chain is on your skin, should only be done 1-2 times a year since each time the tarnish takes off some of the silver. Please subscribe if you havent already ☺️
For those still asking if it works on silver with 925 stamp, yes it does. First I was also hesitant but I did it anyway. Just make sure to remove the pendant if it has diamonds or gemstones as she said.. but yeah worked.. mine looks a lot more shinier 😂
Rara why remove the pendant ? Mine has stones (probably zircon) but it’s surrounded by silver which Id like to clean.
thanks so much for watching, subscribe for more!
the stones could get damaged. best to use a cloth or cleansing cream for that stone part. thanks so much for watching, subscribe for more!
I'm wondering if anyone did this method with their diamonds or gemstones and what effect that it had or didn't have on their jewelry that was more than just silver
?
If anyone’s interested, adding a teaspoon of salt may make a better job! I did it and it turns out shinier that way!
cool idea! thanks for the comment and please subscribe for more :)
Add salt
Or
Minus the baking soda and add salt??
@@DivineSoul999 add salt as in “add salt on top of everything listed in the video”

I'm not going to lie...I was extremely skeptical this would work, but I figured what did I have to lose. It looked fast and easy might as well try, right? I had some silver I hadn't worn since 2010, and it was tarnished almost black. Your trick made it look brand new in just seconds! I usually use Tarn-x to clean jewelry but this is way WAY easier, AND better for the environment, AND I didn't have to spend money on special cleaners.
Hey I just found a 4 pound silver platter, I have done several acid tests on it. and it is 925 silver...However it is very tarnished grey...any tips on cleaning it

Hey! I've heard alot about how using baking soda is bad for silver. My Pandora ring is turning black :(, could this method still work on it?
This method is perfect for gently removing tarnish! As far as I'm aware, it isn't "bad" for the piece. If it's just a ring with no divots or intricate design, you might want to just use a polishing cloth that Pandora supplies. Good luck! Thanks so much for watching and please subscribe for more :)
Tip: those silica packs that come in beef jerky and clothing packages will work just as well as the tarnish strip. So save those silica packs and remember not to eat them lol.
