There is a thing in the shops called Goddard's Jewellery cleaner try that

Lemon juice is acid and will eventually cause pitting. Try olive oil and a soft cloth.
Paper towels will turn silver black again.

Answer 7

I know this might sound mad, but but them in a sock securely and put them in with a wash in your washing machine. My mum done it once by accident and they came up great.

If you don't want to do that just leave them soaking in washing up liquid over night, then scrub them with an old tooth brush.

Also an Ultra sonic bath is great, we have one in work which we all use to clean our jewls:
