That you use with the foil and hot boiling water to clean silver. Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda.

If you want it shiny make a paste with baking powder and water and rub it on the ring or whatever. Works pretty good.

How to Clean Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver is a great metal to work with. It

I tried the above method but I guess my silver is just too grungey, hardly had any impact at all.

It did however seem to loosen the grunge a bit so I tried the baking soda paste suggestion using an old face washer and a toothbrush to clean the goodies and this method worked a treat.

Was pleasantly surprised to find at least one, possibly two of my silver rings are actually gold.

I'd never in the past bothered much with cleaning up my finds but I think I will from here on in!

Thanks for the tips.

Cheers Lou.

[size=medium]just put a bit of Toothpaste between your fingers and thumb and gently rub the item clean. Works great on rings as they are fairly easy to clean.
