I need advice re: tarnish

Madame Lorrraine · ‎04-27-2014

Ladies...I have a Lorie Grenier jewelry case and it's about 10 years old. The anti-tarnish element is wearing off and my jewelry is all starting to tarnish. I don't want to replace the jewelry armoire so can anyone recommend a good tarnish remover?

TIA

Polishing cloth is best. I like to use a cream silver polish when necessary.

You can buy fresh anti-tarnish fabric.

Make sure the box is closed tightly. It's air and humidity that contribute to tarnish.

You can also put tarnished silver and silver plated items in an aluminum pan - sprinkle about a cup of baking soda over the items then boiling water to just cover the items. When the tarnish is gone remove and buff with a soft cloth. Learned this long ago from Martha Stewart and it works.

TarneX is instantaneous.

I thought it was washing soda and a bit of salt.

These are good suggestions if there are no stones in the pieces, if there are, you need to hand polish, to preserve the stones...

The only way I clean the ton of silver jewelry that I own is with a treated polishing cloth. A Sunshine Cloth is my favorite. I order them a dozen at a time on eBay. The other methods described above are for silver flatware, and I wouldn't think of using them on jewelry I treasure.

Could be another method. And no, you wouldn't use these methods on jewelry with gemstones but I've used it on plain silver jewelry. Should have been more specific.

You can buy anti tarnish silver cloth to line whatever you like at Amazon.com. Just put anti tarnish liner in search engine. Or..... ..http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_miscellaneous?ie=UTF8&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Tarnish+Free...
