How to Clean Tarnish Off Your Jewelry Using Baking Soda

Use all natural baking soda to safely and effectively clean tarnish off your sterling silver or gold jewelry. This method is safe for jewelry that is primarily metal without gemstones or organic materials such as pearls. Baking soda works best on jewelry that is mildly to moderately tarnished.

Her voice is so calm and nice to listen too. I didn't mind watching the whole 6 minute video. Thanks for the tip, now time to boil some water.

[@jamssnana4084]

I just wanted to say that you did a really great job with this video! You are organized, well-spoken, clear, and to-the-point. No "uhhhhhhh” or repeating yourself, which drives me nuts. LOL Thanks for the great video; LOVE that it's earth-friendly. 😀

[@conniesuttles2987]

I have watched 5 videos before this one and she was the most articulate, clear on everything and easy to understand.

[@CriscaraOfficial]

Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!

[@staceyrebeca]

JAMS's Nana OMG!!! I soooo agree!!!!

[@tiffanyarizaga1]

I used this on my Pandora charm bracelet that I wore in the pool and it looks brand new. Thanks for this video!

[@DebraJEAN472]

Ok, so I got up, followed your instructions and wa-la. Thank you so much. I'd taken all my Brighten, which isn't silver (I have a lot of Tiffany I'm going to do this with)...to a jeweler. He "threw" it into some vat and I thought ruined it all! It was gunky, rough, brown, basically unwearable. So, nothing to lose. I had to do a few longer because due to Covid they didn't get any wear. But, even though Brighten "isn't real" it's fashionable, not cheap, and I wanted to restore it. I also left some charms on one necklace and the gems were fine. THANK you. I'm sharing this!!!

[@AminahJeelani83]

Thank you so much for this simple and effective solution. I tried this with my gold plated necklace and real gold necklace. It got rid of all the tarnish within a minute or so. Admittedly the gold plated jewellery isn’t as gold as before but it’s better than looking black! And the gold necklace looks brand new

[@ladyblackbgb]

Was surprised that this actually worked. Did my silver and gold, and they look great. Had a pair of gold hoop earrings I hadn’t worn in years because they looked terrible. Now they’re like new again. Thanks

[@JenaeJenae]

I tried this method and it works! my engagement ring looks just like how I first got it. Shiny!! thanks!

[@winterlock1]

omg I just tried this on some silver rings that had gone totally black with tarnish..wish I could post pics...they look brand new!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@CriscaraOfficial]

So glad this worked for you!

[@shisley4]

I buy a lot of sterling silver jewelry. I found out if you keep pieces in individual plastic bags (I use Ziploc sandwich bags) It will keep your jewelry from oxidizing. It's not exposed to air/oxygen. This saves me a lot of time having to clean it on regular bases.

[@ruthbaldwin9263]

Thank you, that's a great tip!

[@shisley4]

You are so welcome :-)!

Honey Isweet makes sens 😊

[@nunyabiznez6381]

You are correct. I worked for Tiffany & Co. at their sterling silver manufacturing plant in Rhode Island. Once completed, all silver jewelry items are stored in plastic bags until it is ready to be put on sale. They use small poly bags, the smallest size that the item can fit in then they push as much air out as they can when they bag the piece. I have found that I can accomplish the same thing by tightly wrapping an item in plastic wrap. The less air the better. I would also like to point out that the anti tarnish felt and suede bags do NOT work. This is why Tiffany's and others don't use them for long term storage. I found this out the hard way when I opened up boxes of Tiffany jewelry after years of storage and found them all dark with tarnish.

[@staceyrebeca]

You’re awesome! You did an awesome job with his video- very to the point, no mumbling, ums, no excess unnecessary comments- you’re really good!!!!!

[@brittanyhopping9822]

I just used this method to remove the tarnish from the Celtic/elven headpiece I wore for my wedding. It worked really well, which I'm thrilled about! I was worried the headpiece was unsalvageable, but now it looks like new!

[@Mammajo2153]

Thanks! I'm going to try this now! Hope you have a great day!

[@sumaiyaahsan]

thank you so much it worked! didn't have Al foil at home so used an Al bowl instead

[@esmfamil5086]

To the point and well spoken. I wish everyone made videos like this. So easy to watch and follow

[@SeptLibra55]

I just want to say 'thank you' for showing me how to clean my tarnished gold chain. It is as good as new now.

[@nardamock]

This method actually works. No more silver polish to clean my silver earrings.

[@GiGi-fd6om]

I used this method on just silver plated costume jewelry and they look great! Thank you.

[@samnater]

First try didn't work for me. However, I made sure the water was boiling (instead of just hot) and also pushed a small 2ndary piece of alumninum foil on top of the jewelry and it worked. Came out almost like new!

[@judyromo4802]

Thank you for your straightforward video. I have several pieces of sterling silver jewelry that are tarnished and need cleaning. I’m going to try your technique tomorrow. I also have a sterling silver and Malachite Cross pendant that is tarnished. Also read a tip about storing my sterling silver jewelry in plastic baggies (& to squeeze air out).

[@Striking_SC]

I just want to say thank you! This worked amazingly for me after I made the mistake of letting some jewelry soak in cleaning solution for to long. It looked like it had been burnt but this cleared it off in seconds. Thank you again!!!

[@xKiYoMiNaTiONx]

This has totally made my day! I've had so many tarnished chains and some pendants and this saved me! Thanks so much for making this tutorial! I hope this works with earrings too!

[@renzy5270]

this was awesome!!! i just got some Jewellery off ebay that had fire burn all over it and followed this clip and 10mins later you wouldnt even know it was the same piece so simple but so effective THANK YOU

[@skyward360]

This method actually works pretty well. I recommend if you have rings or something that after you've cleaned them put some clear nail polish to keep them looking nice!

[@tajcoleman3419]

I like how you explained what you were doing & why you did it. This video helped me a lot and I want to give thanks to you.

[@TheBlackGeisha]

You have the best voice on earth 😭😭

[@opencollector]

Just did this to my chain and am amazed at how well it works. Thank you for sharing!

[@pamelaaverill6001]

I have been struggling with this for many years I tried everything. Nothing has worked for me Tried yours and my jewelry is so clean and beautiful Thank you so much. You are wonderful

[@lrob4444]

This is by FAR the most helpful video I’ve found. And I’ve looked. I find it much more useful when you know how the INGREDIENTS actually WORK together to achieve your goal. Especially for a DIY in which I’d rather save jewelry than create a curtain. Thank You!!

[@lrob4444]

Used this on costume jewelry and it worked.

[@RENTALGUY1969]

Worked like a charm on my gold bracelet....thank you so much for sharing !!! 🙂

[@tillybinkieking7258]

Best explanatory video. Thank you.. I shall now try this experiment out with my late mother's silver little box... What was it used for? :D

[@thomasberry8012]

Well you are just absolutely lovely! Very well-spoken and professionally produced.

[@LenaSousaOfficial]

You did such a great job of explaining the process. Well done!

[@suzanneblaylock9598]

I LOVE baking soda !! It's natural and NO toxins. Thank you~

[@autumnpeace1994]

[@anna_kcx]

[@mammasbabas]

[@loriep.9493]

I see you did this video back in 2012 ! Wow...let me tell you , your advice is ...timeless ! I have gone to Yard Sales, and Thrift Stores and bought Jewelry that I was 95% certain was Sterling Silver and would take them home to clean. Not always a simple task if they have been tarnished a long time . But this remedy works great !!! Thank you for the video and the time it took you to make it !

[@Paxtonpia]

It’s now 2022!😳😂 this cleaning method still works. I put salt, & liquid soap w/ baking soda. Anyways.. I bought a silver add a bead cuff bracelet for $5 ! One bead cost more than that! It wasn’t even really that dirty.. However, cleaned it up, and I wear w/ a small silver bracelet that I never take off unless I clean them. I can’t believe the jewelry at our flea market here in Raleigh NC! Wish I had a friend that liked yard sales. I won’t go alone. Do you?

[@cindykoehler5327]

Yes, I go alone. I love yard sales and second hand stores.

[@lainesinkala5311]

Thank you Kindly! I just tried it and it actually works! It made my white gold rosary and silver ring sparkle like new!! Thanks again! :-)

[@eugenevaughan9127]

Always looking for new solutions on how to clean jewelry! Thanks 4 share!

[@merlottime1794]

Thank you. I tried this today and it worked!

[@jahway1262]

Great video! Used these in my 18k grillz!! Thanks!

[@maria617]

One video I watched on this subject said to use vinegar as well. What do you think about that? I liked how you added the brush step to work the solution into the chain. This was super helpful. Thanks!

[@ccarr4030]

Thank you for this amazing tip, especially coming from someone who knows about jewelry. I have so many beautiful pieces of custom jewelry that needed to be clean. If you could tell me how to best store these pieces. I have my custom jewelry necklaces hanging on a rack in my room, but I notice, they get dirty and tarnished. Thank you!!!

[@queensweetvlogs2034]

It really worked. I so wish I could post pictures. Thanks.

[@alannahdavisodell8140]

Great video on cleaning fashion jewelry (aka, the cheap stuff, lol), I wish I'd known before that it is this simple and cost-effective. Thank you!

[@chodeshadar18]

Excellent video... thank you!

[@spunk41]

Thank You! This is so helpful and inexpensive. I have a piece that was given to me years ago by my daughter's father that is very special. I found it years after I thought I had lost it, but very tarnished. Now I can give it to her, looking beautiful as the day I got it. Thank You! :))

[@ripleyceballoherrera8839]

Thank you so much it works...

[@fargosupreme]

I have a tarnished gold mcm belt buckle will this work? Or should I just take it to the mcm store and have them fix it

Is it for pure silver or oxidized jewellery also

[@Venomn1]

Thankyou,Great Video!!!

[@dreamboatannie0816]

I know this is an old video, but what if the piece has stones in it? Cubic zirconias specifically

[@sallycandice6088]

Would this work on a sterling silver piece that was tarnished with bleach?

[@graciejackson1077]

will this work on the kendra scott jewels?

[@gracielou4075]

Does this process work in a small aluminum tray?

[@xdiaz755]

Any suggestion for gold jewelry with tarnish?
