Like any other metal, sterling silver tends to tarnish and blacken over the years. Cleaning it therefore eliminates this blackening and preserves its former shine. During this process, you can also remove dirt embedded in the corners. Do you have blackened silver jewelry to clean? For an effective chemical reaction, it is advisable to place aluminum foil at the bottom of a bowl. Then add the boiled water and baking soda. Let your jewelry rest in this bowl. Finally, gently rub your jewelry with a microfiber cloth or a soft toothbrush. This is a non-aggressive way that will allow you to clean the surface of all your silver jewelry. 

However, for a more thorough clean, we advise you to use more effective methods. Indeed, rubbing and polishing is not enough to remove scratches from your silver jewelry. It will therefore be necessary to think about having them polished. Indeed, polishing is the only way to permanently erase claws that are too deep.
