Can you clean silver with baking soda?

Yes, you can clean silver with baking soda. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove tarnish and dirt from silver. Here are the steps on how to clean silver with baking soda:

1. Create a paste by mixing baking soda with water. The ratio should be 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water.

2. Apply the paste to the silver using a soft cloth. Be sure to rub in the direction of the grain of the silver.

3. Rinse the silver with warm water.

4. Dry the silver with a soft cloth.

Here are some additional tips for cleaning silver with baking soda:

* Test the baking soda paste on a small area of the silver before applying it to the entire piece. This will help you to ensure that the baking soda does not damage the silver.

* If the silver is heavily tarnished, you may need to let the baking soda paste sit on the silver for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

* You can also use baking soda to clean silver jewelry. Simply place the jewelry in a bowl of warm water with a few tablespoons of baking soda. Let the jewelry sit in the water for a few minutes, then rinse it off with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Please note that this cleaning method is only recommended for silver pieces that are not coated or painted.
