How to clean tarnished and blackened silver jewelry: a simple and effective hack

Silver jewelry and some costume jewelry have an unpleasant tendency to tarnish and darken over time. Not everyone dares to wear them when they lose their appearance. However, the problem can be easily solved.

A cleaning expert under the nickname jessiee_marie shared her method with improvised means on TikTok. For cleaning, she used ordinary baking soda.

She demonstrated the method on her necklace and several rings that had darkened significantly over time. She placed them in a bowl completely lined with food foil, poured baking soda so that it completely covered the jewelry, and poured hot water over them.

After a few minutes of such a soda bath, the jewelry should be stirred in the bowl to make the product work better and the surface clean faster. Experts advise keeping jewelry in the soda solution for about 15 minutes.

After that, rinse each item with cold water and dry it. This method is effortless and will easily return chains, rings and earrings to their original shine.
