How to Clean Silver Jewelry

  1. Pour Water Over Jewelry

    Hot water is an easy (and cheap) cleaning solution for hard metal jewelry. Steam and heat loosen dirt and debris from jewelry, making it a snap to wipe away. Simply place your pieces in a heatproof container, then slowly pour in boiling water until they're covered.

  2. Soak and Wipe Away Grime

    Let the jewelry sit for a few minutes or until the water has cooled, then remove it and wipe away the grime with a clean cloth. Depending on how dirty your pieces are, they may still require a scrub after soaking.

  3. Dry Jewelry

    Let the jewelry air-dry before putting it away or wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Keep in mind that this method for cleaning jewelry will not work with pearls, opals, and many other gemstones. Reserve this technique for silver, gold, platinum, and diamonds or other hard stones.
