Any tips for cleaning silver?

Something I might have lying around the house? It's for jewellery...

Coke

I did think about that (I've got half a bottle of diet coke sitting in front of me!) but won't it damage the silver at all?

Lemmon juice pure or just stick it in vinigar for 10-15 mins

I'm scared to stick it in any of these acidy things You sure?

This gives a way to clean silver using aluminium foil - it explains the reason for it too.

full fat coke is the best way x

I might try that foil one first... then the coke if it doesn't work. Thanks! x

That foil thing is amazing I've got 2 necklaces that I used to wear all the time but haven't had them on for ages because Toby pulls them when I'm feeding him and they were almost black. Stuck them in a mug with foil, salt and hot water for a few seconds and they're all shiny!

Thanks
