Please get the Silver Cleaning Plate (electrolytic)--marvelous gadget. Just dip in water and presto the rings get clean by themselves.

I've found that a good easy and cheap way to clean tarnished silver is to drop the item into a warm solution of water and washing up liquid. Leave it there for an hour or so and it should come out gleaming.
One way to prevent an item from becoming tarnished is to keep it in an airtight container or one of those little sealy bags.

You can make your own silver cleaning dip. Just line a bowl or pan with aluminum foil and fill with very hot water. Pour in some powdered laundry detergent (it has to be powdered, not liquid) and set the silver item in for a few minutes. The reaction between the aluminium and the detergent takes the tarnish off quick. Then just wipe with a clean cloth and rinse.

Get a glass dish, put a piece of aluminum foil in the bottom and then dissolve some baking soda in very hot water(very hot but not boiling) Put your silver item in that and swish it around and watch them sparkle.
Formula: One scant tablespoon of baking soda per cup of very hot water. It is very important for the water to be very hot, but not boiling.
* Using aluminum foil, completely line a non-metallic bowl large enough to hold your silver piece.
* Place the jewelry or tray or other silver piece in the bowl and sprinkle baking soda over the surface.
* Add the hot water and in about 30 seconds the tarnish will be gone.
* Rinse the jewelry thoroughly in warm water to remove all baking soda residue.
Hope it helps.

this may sound ridiculous, but gin and tonic cleans tarnished silver. Just make a small gin and tonic drop the rings in and leave for about 15 minutes, drain and dry with a soft dry cloth

Take it to a jewery story, they will normally clean rings for free. If not, just pick up some silver cleaner and have fun. You may need some small brushes to clean some areas.

Tescos do a brilliant cloth for silver (it's blue) and has cleaner within it...and one for gold. Silvo is great for large pieces like table wear, because it can get into small details in the jewellery.

Use silver polish. They also make a variety of polish that will make your silver resist tarnish in the future.
