5 Easy Ways to Clean Silver at Home

Want your silver jewelry to shine like new without spending money at a jeweler? Here are five simple, effective DIY methods using items you already have at home.

1. Salt Water Soak

Mix 10g white salt with 250ml water. Soak silver items overnight, then rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Perfect for rings and necklaces.

2. Aluminum Foil Trick

Line a bowl with aluminum foil, fill with hot water and 10g salt. Soak your silver for 10 minutes, then polish with a soft cloth for a brilliant shine.

3. Banana Peel Polish

Use the inside of a banana peel to rub away tarnish. Repeat with fresh peels until your silver sparkles.

4. Lemon and Salt Scrub

Cut a lemon in half, dip it in salt, and rub directly on silver. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth for a natural, chemical-free polish.

5. Toothpaste Method

Wash silver with warm soapy water, then rub gently with toothpaste for 5 minutes. Rinse and buff dry for a mirror-like finish.

 Tip: Always use soft cloths to avoid scratching.
