Well you know I have seen this cleaner diy on zillions of blogs and on Pinterest....
And I have for years thought...must try it.
Then the day came that I had a lot of silver that was tarnished and unwearable,
so I thought - well here's a good time to see if this raved about homemade cleaner actually works.
And guess what?
It sure does!
I have saved myself quite a few dollars by not taking the jewelry to the jewelers.
And the homemade cleaner has basic pantry ingredients in it too.
So here's how it rolled.....
Take one lot of tarnished black silver earrings and brooches...
Place them in a metal baking pan that has been lined with foil (shiny side UP)
Pre mix - 1 cup of boiling water, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 1/2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
Stir until dissolved and pour over the jewelry in the pan.
Pour over this 1/2 cup white vinegar.
It will froth up!
Next move the jewelry around a bit and the leave it sitting for 15 minutes.

A couple of pieces were really black, so I used a little brush to brush the black off.
Rinse under warm water and pat dry with a paper towel.
You now will have super shiny silver with no tarnishing.
Here's a before and a after photo of these leaf earrings.
I really could not believe how good this worked.

I'll definitely be using this homemade cleaner again!
It even cleaned up the fucshia earrings which are silver on copper.
I am so happy that I will now be able to wear these pieces again.
