Then use an old toothbrush to restore the shine of the silver. Rinse well and dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Distilled White Vinegar

Mix 100ml of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda. Put your silver jewellery in the mixture and allow to sit for 2-3 hours. Then rinse well with cold water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
