Sometimes, we just don\u2019t take it off, sometimes we just think that it wouldn\u2019t tarnish so quickly. However, silver jewelry tends to lose its luster and shine over time. Thus, in order to keep your chains, necklaces and rings in their perfect silver state, you should regularly clean them. <strong>How to clean silver chain<\/strong> then? And <strong>how to clean sterling silver chains<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<h2>How to clean silver chain at home<\/h2>\n<p>Silver jewelry can tarnish from contact with perfumes and cosmetics. If you are wondering <strong>how to clean silver necklace chain<\/strong>, you should definitely try the baking soda and aluminum foil. This is one of the most popular methods of cleaning silver jewelry. Baking soda and aluminum can even reverse the process of jewelry getting yellow. This simple trick is cheap and easy to proceed with at home:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Prepare some boiling water \u2013 you should have enough water to reach the top of the bowl. Take the bowl and line it with aluminum foil (the shiny side should be kept up).<\/li>\n<li>Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda with each cup of water into the bowl so that it starts to bubble. Place your silver jewelry into the bowl \u2013 it should be touching the foil (otherwise, the chemical reaction will not occur). Let it sit for 2 \u2013 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the jewelry and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. It should look like it\u2019s new again!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How to clean sterling silver chain<\/h2>\n<p>Sterling silver contains about 7.5% copper which makes it stronger than pure 99.9% silver. However, it also makes it a bit more likely to tarnish. No worries, there are some verified DIY methods to clean your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverrushstyle.com\/all-jewelry\/\">sterling silver jewelry<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try toothpaste \u2013 yes, that\u2019s right! A small amount of diluted toothpaste and a soft-bristle brush can do miracles. However, toothpaste is not the best choice for anything silver-plated, keep that in mind. To clean your sterling silver jewelry, use a normal toothpaste but don\u2019t use one with whitening formula.<\/li>\n<li>Try lemon and olive oil \u2013 prepare a half cup lemon juice and one teaspoon olive oil. Carefully mix them and then dip a clean cloth into it. Gently rub the silver with the cloth until it shines. Then, rinse and carefully dry. Doesn\u2019t your jewelry look and smell good now?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to clean silver chain with vinegar<\/h3>\n<p>Vinegar is a great option for many things including your tarnished sterling silver jewelry. If you want to make it perfectly shiny again, mix \u00bd cup of white vinegar with 2 tablespoons baking soda in a bowl of warm water. Let it sit for around 2 \u2013 3 hours, depending on how much tarnish you need to remove. Then, rinse with cold water and dry the jewelry. By the way, baking soda will also work with water (with no vinegar) as a paste to be rubbed onto the jewelry. Make sure you rub the mixture carefully, then rinse the jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>See? Silver jewelry can still be your favorite and the most beautiful in your collection. Even if it can tarnish and oxidize, there are simple ways to make it shine again. Most of them you can easily try at home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, many women very often neglect cleaning silver jewelry.
