Professionals do not recommend treating silver jewelry too often. This especially applies to silver products, as the coating can become thinner from such treatment. There are the following ways to restore the shine of silver jewelry at home:

• A special polish for silver is one of the best ways. Such products contain substances that remove dirt and create a protective coating.
• Dishwashing detergent. You need to mix a few drops of the gel with warm water, then wet a soft cloth in the solution and wipe the silver. After that, the product should be rinsed with cool water and polished dry with another soft cloth.
• Baking soda. For heavy contamination, you can use a paste of three parts baking soda and one part water. Wet the silver and apply the product with a soft, lint-free cloth. Rub lightly, then rinse and dry.
• Toothpaste. A drop of white paste (not gel) should be applied to the tarnished silver and very carefully rubbed with a finger or a soft cloth. Then rinse well with warm water and polish to a shine with a soft cloth.

To restore the shine of gold jewelry, it is recommended to do the following.

In a small container, mix a few drops of washing dishes with half a glass of warm water. Place the product in the solution and leave for three to five minutes. Carefully wash the products, then take them out and put them on a soft cloth. A soft toothbrush can be walked through the cracks and links of the chain to more effectively remove dirt. Wash the jewelry with clean water and polish it dry with a soft cloth.

To clean jewelry, wet a cloth with a solution of water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent and carefully wipe the products. Then pass through a cloth soaked in clean water. After that, the jewelry should be wiped dry.
