Cleaning Silver Earring Hoops with Baking Soda Paste

This method uses common household ingredients and is effective for removing tarnish.

Materials You'll Need:

  • Baking soda
  • Water
  • Microfibre cleaning cloth
  • Warm water

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cleaning Paste: Mix baking soda and water in a 3:1 ratio to create a paste. For example, use 3 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water.

  2. Apply the Paste: Apply the baking soda paste to the silver earrings using a microfibre cleaning cloth.

  3. Massage into Crevices: Gently massage the paste into the crevices of the earring hoops to ensure thorough cleaning.

  4. Rotate the Cloth: As the cloth removes the tarnish, keep rotating it to ensure only clean parts of the cloth touch the earrings. This prevents re-depositing the tarnish.

  5. Rinse with Warm Water: After cleaning, rinse the earrings thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining baking soda paste.

  6. Dry Gently: Gently pat the earrings dry with a clean, soft cloth.

By following these steps, you can effectively clean your silver earring hoops and restore their shine.
