I stopped using toothpaste to clean silver more than a decade ago. This was the old standard, and lots of people still use it nowadays but I don't recommend it. I do use it to remove minor scratches from watches (crystal, metal strap) and sunglasses, so that gives you an idea about the capacity of toothpaste to be abrasive. Yes, is not super abrasive, but is abrasive non theless. Thoopaste will get the tarnish away, but it may also scratch your silver and gold jewelry. When you have lots of those mini-scratches the aesthetics of your jewelry changes. If you plan to employ the second method use a non-gel, non-whitening, non-baking soda toothpaste. Remember, we are talking silver here, do not use toothpaste to clean silver-plated jewelry. The first method is a great way to clean your silver, or you can buy a non-abrasive silver polish. If you are either using toothpaste, which again I don't recommend, or silver polish and some of your pieces are too small or intricate and require you to use a brush, don't use a dental brush, get a horsehair brush.
There's a polishing cloth product called micromesh you can use to get an even better finish on metal and wood... After you clean it like he shows. Which works brilliantly by the way great hack
It worked even on heated ring. I have ruby ring in silver. Unheated ruby. I heated it up to 300C to improve ruby colour. The silver got tarnished. Cleaned silver up using your second method toothpaste, baking soda and salt. It worked! Thank you
@@safepancake7551you don’t want to clean coins depletes there value suggest you look into it if your into collecting coins number one Thing not to do cheers
Just tried this with my box of silver. Turns bright white the moment it touches the water, my mind was blown... No more scrubbing
I’ll try it. ❤

*nonetheless not non the less 😮😅😮😅😮😅
Ooooh I just did this to a bunch of rings we found- didn’t do the toothpaste. But still came out 👌
Recorded vertically:(
Use the first method. Avoid the second and instead use cape cod cloth and wash with warm or hot water
Nice, but for anyone thinking - not for silver coins
Love it! You’re getting a subscription! Thanks again

Thank you Chef!! But in Italy we pronounce salt: salto.
Amazing, I just try it. I'm so surprised
Thanks ✌️😊
Thank you ❤
I have done this but the tarnish comes back in a short time.
It worked even on heated ring. I have ruby ring in silver. Unheated ruby. I heated it up to 300C to improve ruby colour. The silver got tarnished. Cleaned silver up using your second method toothpaste, baking soda and salt. It worked! Thank you
So glad to hear!
This might work on silverware, but NEVER use this method to clean coins. You'll scratch the coins and ruin their value!
It also works with household soda
Is that different from
Baking soda?
Thank you
worked ty
Nice !!!!!
can it be whatever salt?
Boiling hot water and baking soda cleans my silver. No need for salt or toothpaste.
Dont do this- its messy, not very effective, and a pain in the ass. Theres a reason they make silver cleaner.
My name is Merrick too
That's a towel from Cintas 😂
Him: causally unbends a spoon on camera 😂
It’s made of a soft metal…
Works really good for gold but I don't use the toothpaste
Can you use this for silver fronts or grills 😅
Hmm oh I commented fast, I just heard toothpaste baking soda..
Thank you !
Can this be done on old 1943 quarters? (90% silver 10% copper)
I imagine so
@@chefmerricktv thanks! it looks brand new now!
@@safepancake7551 awesome so glad to hear!

Toothpaste is unnecessary for the last step. Baking soda alone is good enough.
im using cigarette ash and napkin :)
Boiled it only in hot water
Will repeat tarnish and cleaning damage the silver? I just got a silver chain and was wondering if this process damage my silver overtime.
Use toothpaste and a rag at first
@@chefmerricktv so it won't get damaged if i use toothpaste and a rag first? will it get damaged if i just do it the way you did overtime?
Sure is clean, but not very shiny. Isn’t silver supposed to shine?
NEVER DO THIS.
..it caused pitting..
What kind of tooth paste?
Crest original
Bro who would want to eat off that after you be rubbing toothpaste all over it that’s grim 🤣

He forgot to mention that you should flip items over after 5mins to get both sides.
Whats the foil for
A deep vesel , a skimming spoon & Expensive sea salt? , hey nice hair. You run Into a wall ?
