So, take a liter of water and pour in two tablespoons of ammonia. Mix thoroughly. Wipe the silverware with this solution. Those that are very dirty can be immersed in the solution for 30-60 minutes.

Step 3
You can also use all of these products together: mix five parts water with two parts ammonia and two parts tooth powder. Mass, which turned out to clean all silver items. Particularly dark ones can also be left smeared with this paste for a few minutes. After all this, the jewelry should be rinsed well and wiped dry.
Step 4
For home cleaning of silverware from plaque, you can also use store-bought chemical polishes. For example, Silver Clean.

Or put the products in a special basket, pour in the product according to the instructions and shake for a few minutes, then rinse well in warm water and wipe with a soft cloth.
Step 5
To prevent your favorite jewelry from darkening so quickly afterwards, you can give them to a jeweler to cover them with a special protective film. But even after such manipulations, you need to properly store the products. Ideal - in separate cases with soft upholstery for each piece of jewelry, but soft bags are also suitable.
