I would love to see the, " Crazy Russian " guy do this, and then strike a match ! It just sounds like something he would do, if you're familiar with his antics ! Warning to the uninitiated ! I understand the chemical reaction here produces Hydrogen gas ! Which if you don't know, is highly flammable ! If you are going to try this, do it away from any source of flames, and in a well ventilated area !! ☠️☠️☠️
Remember polishing mom's silver. My little fingers were thrashed with the chemical we used. Of course there were no gloves. I inherited the tea/coffee brewing set and now it's black. I will try this. Hope it doesn't fall apart since the tarnish might be very deep. Thanks
ok so this wont damage my necklace and ring.. i think. my necklace is 925 silver but the ring was a gift, made from when my partner was a student in collage. idk what was put into it exactly but i do remember the mention of sterling silver.
When cleaning plated silver it is easy to strip off the plating especially if the plating is very thin. When cleaning solid sterling silver items there is very little danger of damaging the silver. I use an ultrasonic bath for cleaning silver items. The ultrasonic bath is less evasive to damage silver plating. In the ultrasonic bath you can use water with dish soap. The ultrasonic bath can also clean gold items, or most anything you put in to it.
Excellent video. Just a suggestion: if you use a larger bowl, you won't have to change the water as often 😉 I mistakenly bought TWO 5lb bags of baking soda from Costco, so NOW I know what I'll be doing today! I have hundreds of pieces of sterling silver jewelry and I can't wait to try this! I'm wondering if it would be ok for stones that are in a setting without glue, as well, since it's just a chemical reaction using oxygen. I'll try it with a labradorite ring that I'm not in love with.....thank you for this video!
Hi Stefanr, I’m working on a new Cleaning TV Series for Ricochet TV Production Company (the makers behind The Repair Shop on BBC One) & we’d potentially like to feature this Video. What is the best way to contact you please?
I went in a swimming pool and my ring (that I had every since I was younger ) turned black and it’s been half a year and nothing would work, I just tried this and it has worked I’m so happy I seen this video!
So my wedding ring turned black and it stayed that way for two years now. I tried everything but nothing worked. Today I found this video and followed the instructions. It worked as charm! My ring looks 100 times better than what it was. Thank you so much!
First time feeling like commenting on some video. Just saw your video and tried cleaning my jewellery and was so happy that it really worked, first time you tube video was useful.thank you
it will be more effective if it's a bigger bowl and each jewellery is touching the aluminum. it's the electrolytic current from aluminum touching the silver that removes the sulfide and attach itself to the foil.
Would it be easier to just purchase a bottle of Wrights polishing cream for 8 bucks and save time. Its a cool hack for sure. Not efficient and not that effective.
