Heavy Tarnish

• 1). Make a solution of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Dampen the silver with water. Rub the solution on the piece of jewelry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels to apply the baking soda mixture. This may scratch the jewelry.
  
  
• 2). Manipulate the baking soda mixture into any crevices in the jewelry. When the cloth turns gray on one side, rub the jewelry with the other side.
  
  
• 3). Rinse the jewelry with cool water. Rub with a soft cloth until dry.
