Cleaning Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
care-for-your-jewelry Clean sterling silver with a phosphate free detergent. A low abrasive cleaner, such as 3M Tarni-Shield Silver Polish, is a good choice for removing light tarnish. Some people use toothpaste to clean their sterling silver, but most silver experts caution against it because they feel toothpaste is too abrasive and leaves dulling scratches. We are using 925 sterling silver and is rhodium plated to resist tarnishing.
