baking soda, or boil water with tide 2gether with ur jewelry.
The aluminum foil method does really work. http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/HOMEEXPTS/TA鈥?/a> BUT!!!! Don't use it on jewelry that has certain areas that are intended to be dark. For example, if there is scroll work where indentations have been blackened to help show the detail. This dark substance will be removed and will take away from the beauty and value.
Toothpaste (not gel) and a toothbrush. I use a soft bristle brush just in case.
A common floor cleaner S P I C %26amp; S P A N in a bucket, lined with aluminum foil. That should do the trick
Put aluminum foil on the bottom of sink or basin. Add 1/2 cup soda %26amp; a couple of tablespoons of salt to hot water. Lay items on the foil %26amp; let soak. Make sure the items touch the foil. This creates a chemical reactions which removes the tarnish.





You may need to add more soda if it seems that the solution if you have a lot of silver to clean.





This will clean real silver. I'm not sure it will work on costume jewelery.
this may sound silly, but try silver polish mitts. lol. they work great
Use toothpaste on the silver and it will sparkle like new. On cosmetic jewelery, try ammonia. Just use a soft cloth so you dont ruin any ornamentation on your antique pieces. If there are really bad spots, try rubbing baking soda on it. Good luck.
I would use lemon juice, vinegar and salt


Vinegar can be used for so much you would be amazed.
