How to clean sterling silver jewelries

I love sterling silver jewelries, except when they tarnish... So I did some research and found out a quick and inexpensive way to clean sterling silver jewelries. It worked so well that I cleaned all my sterling silver earrings, necklaces and even silverspoons.

All you need is ---

1. Baking soda: about 1 tablespon
2. Boiling water: just enough to cover jewelries in the aluminum foil container
3. Aluminum foil container ( I usually use a small take-out container)
4. Dry towel

And here is How ---

Step1: Place your silver jewelries in the aluminum container

Step2: Pour baking soda on top of silver jewelries, slightly burrying them.

Step3: Boil water and pour it in the aluminum container, just enough that silver jewelries are under the water.

Step4: You will hear sizzling sound and that means tarnishes are evaporating. It will smell a little funky, which means it's working.

Step 5: Rinse them with cool water (careful not to loose your jewelries in the sink, especially small earrings) and pat dry with cloth.

That's it!! You can now enjoy your sparkly and shiny sterling silver jewelries.
