- In this video I'll explain you how to clean black tarnished silver items with hot water, baking soda and aluminium foil.
Try it Tony! Its a very safe and easy method. I'm sure it is going to work for you!
You are one of the better people showing what is going on
So my wedding ring turned black and it stayed that way for two years now. I tried everything but nothing worked. Today I found this video and followed the instructions. It worked as charm! My ring looks 100 times better than what it was. Thank you so much!
Just a little change in how it works. The silver sulfide isn't bonding with the aluminum. The sulfur from the silver sulfide has a greater affinity towards aluminum, so the silver sulfide is turning into silver and the aluminum is turning into aluminum sulfide. The water and baking soda is turning this into a battery to get the reaction going.
When cleaning plated silver it is easy to strip off the plating especially if the plating is very thin. When cleaning solid sterling silver items there is very little danger of damaging the silver. I use an ultrasonic bath for cleaning silver items. The ultrasonic bath is less evasive to damage silver plating. In the ultrasonic bath you can use water with dish soap. The ultrasonic bath can also clean gold items, or most anything you put in to it.
Warning: this method and all others discussed in the comments can be very harsh on some silver especially antique silver, so be careful or you might end up blackening it even more, stripping the metal off silver plate or creating a white film on it.
Saved my favorite rings that I wore into a hot tub like an idiot. Thank you!!!
This trick is amazing!!! I cleaned my dad's ring and it looks new again!!
This works perfectly and was sooo easy. Such a good life hack
Glad you explained why this process works. thumbs up
Nicely cleaned!
I went in a swimming pool and my ring (that I had every since I was younger ) turned black and it’s been half a year and nothing would work, I just tried this and it has worked I’m so happy I seen this video!
Great video mate
Great tutorial. Thank you my friend! 👍🏼
First time feeling like commenting on some video. Just saw your video and tried cleaning my jewellery and was so happy that it really worked, first time you tube video was useful.thank you
Remember polishing mom's silver. My little fingers were thrashed with the chemical we used. Of course there were no gloves. I inherited the tea/coffee brewing set and now it's black. I will try this. Hope it doesn't fall apart since the tarnish might be very deep. Thanks
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks buddy for sharing your method of cleaning up old silver ,wow what a difference between before and after treatment :)
