How to clean your silver jewellery

Silver jewellery can get tarnished with exposure to sunlight, moisture or just from not being worn for a while. When silver is tarnished it loses all its shine and can become dark, almost black.
We recommend cleaning your silver jewellery and especially silver charms with a silver polishing cloth.
Like this one I found from B&M costing a mere 75p!

using the pictured cloth above!
Shining results right?
here’s how:
The white inner cloth is treated with a special formula that is gentle yet thorough in cleaning away tarnish, grime, fingerprints, oils and cosmetics from precious metals, whilst applying a tarnish resistant barrier at the same time. The grey outer cloth is an excellent buffer to bring a sparkle and lustre back to your jewellery.
Please be aware:
Jewellery cloths are effective, but it can be difficult to get into all the nooks and crannies you may want to clean. If you want to get a thorough clean you can use a jewellery-bath, which you can purchase at most high-street jewellers.
