I live overseas and can’t find silver/jewelry cleaner…is there something around the house you can use instead? Thanks.
Is there a way to clean silver jewelry with household products?

Place silver jewellery in a small saucepan (an aluminium one if you have one – try an op shop) – add boiling water and small pieces of aluminium foil and a deaaser spoon of salt.
Boil for about 15 minutes – don’t let it boil dry -add more water if necessary.
The chemical reaction between the aluminium and salt will re-oxidize the black tarnish back to silver.
I use toothpaste (we use Crest at home) and a soft toothbrush, rince throughly. Sparkling clean silver…works on gold too.
