hi, my name is rachel and i'm the owner ofaustinstylewatch.com straight fashion site and i'm also a freelance fashion reporterand today i'm going to talk to you about how to clean your silver jewelry using bakingsoda. so this is kind of cool. it's actually sort of a science experiment; that will belike we're back in elementary school, this is kind of fun. get out the lab goggles, everything.but really though, this is a, it's science, there's science going on in here and it'skind of cool. so what you're going to need first of all is little glass tray, just kindof a little basin to put it in, glass is really the best, not so much plastic or metal. nextthing you'll need is a piece of tin foil. and you're just going to take a piece of tinfoil and layer into the bottom of that dish.
and everywhere your jewelries is going tobe laying you need to have space with the tin foil. so go ahead, take some hot water,put it on the boil while you get the rest of your stuff done. you're going to take yourjewelry, put it into the basin and like i said, it needs to be touching the tin foil.the next thing you're going to do is take baking soda, just your average household bakingsoda. and you're going to dust it over the jewelry. after you've got that on, you're going totake your hot boiling water off and you're going to pour the hot water over the jewelrywith the baking soda. now this is where the science starts and you just kind of want enoughwater to cover the jewelry. so what's going
to start happening as your going to see, thealuminum foil turning black in some areas and you'll also going to smell sort of likerotten eggs and that's the sulfur being release. so the aluminum takes the sulfur from thejewelry and that takes off the tarnish and everything so it's kind of cool. again, we'veroot back here elementary days of science experiments, you can see it turn black, smellthe sulfur, it's kind of exciting. so when you're done with that, go ahead and drainin the bath, take the jewelry out. you want to take a soft cloth, polish it out and that'show you clean your wear silver jewelry with baking soda.
