A. Hi Gary,
What works for me is to immerse the jewelry in a solution of baking soda [in bulk on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil links]
and water and make contact with an aluminum plate. The degree of tarnishing would dictate the amount of baking soda [in bulk on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil links]
and time the jewelry is on the aluminum plate. For mild tarnishing I start out with a few tablespoons of baking soda per liter of water, 30-60 seconds on the plate, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Good Luck!
