How To Use Baking Soda To Clean Men's Silver Jewelry

Most men's silver jewelry cleaning solutions contain inorganic chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.

Although you do not really use a lot of these commercial men's silver jewelry cleaning solutions to clean a few pieces of jewelry, the fact still stands that when you get rid of the used solutions, these used solutions still cause some degree of pollution in the environment.

If you want to help take care of mother Earth by reducing the amount of pollutants, you need to use organic substances in cleaning your silver men's designer jewelry.

Instead of buying those chemical solutions, consider using baking soda instead. Baking soda is biodegradable and do not cause a lot of pollution in the environment. What is more interesting about baking soda is that it is cheap and readily available.

Getting Started

You do not need to buy a new pack of baking soda to clean your men's silver jewelry. Just rummage through your kitchen cupboard and use whatever baking soda you have in there.

Any brands of baking soda will do. You may also use some old aluminum baking pan that you will no longer use to cook or store food to hold your silver jewelry while you clean it. If you do not have an old aluminum baking pans, you can just use some old plastic dish lined with aluminum foil.

You can use your regular kitchen aluminum foil for this purpose.

Once you have all the things that you need, you can get to work. Boil enough water to submerge all the men's silver jewelry that you want to clean. Put all the silver jewelry pieces that you want to clean inside the old aluminum baking pan or plastic wear line with aluminum foil. 

All the jewelry pieces hold touch the aluminum. Sprinkle the men's silver jewelry with baking soda. After putting baking soda over the men's silver jewelry pieces into the pan or dish, pour the boiling water into the pan or dish. At this point, bubbles will appear on the pan and you place will probably be filled with the smell of rotten-eggs.

When this happens, don't worry, the rotten egg smell is actually the sulfuric gases released from your jewelry. To get rid of the stink, open the windows and let fresh air in.

After five minutes, remove the jewelry from your baking soda solution and rinse them in running water.

After cleaning your men's silver jewelry, buff them with the use of cotton cloth and then store them is a dry safe place.
