OMG! Thank you for this information! I use soap pods instead of laundry powder, so I put a healthy squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid into the bowl instead. Within five seconds I could see a huge difference in my tarnished sterling silver jewelry! I appreciate how laid back you were with the amount of each "ingredient". No measuring. Yay!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have a really old ring made of sterling silver and a huge teardrop amethyst... I did this and WOO HOO!!!! It looks new!!!!! I didn't want to scrub like you were saying you didn't want to do earlier, especially between the tiny little 'teeth' surrounding the stone, the leaves, and the little swirls of 'Ivy'. I didn't have powder laundry soap but used powder (dishwasher) dish detergent... Stirred, dropped it in and held my breath. lol It wasn't even in there ten seconds, and I could see it shining!! I pulled it out, rinsed it, dried it off with a soft cloth and it looks like I just bought it last week! THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you for the SUPER positive comment - so pleased that you are happy with this way of cleaning your valuables. Certainly my favourite method I’ve found.
It worked beautifully! Thank you! I have three Pandora bracelets and one is full of charms. But I shook and moved them around on the bracelet and everything came clean. I really appreciate you taking the time to showing us how to do it.
This is amazing. You were forever, getting comments, especially if someone like myself tarnished their bracelets by putting it in hot water and baking soda. I freaked out and then I thought let me go to TH-cam. Thank you. It worked. I followed your instructions completely. I didn’t have to leave mine in the water long at all less than one minute until my eyes the silver is shiny.
Wow, that is amazing. I just cleaned my Pandora bracelet and other silver jewel that I was getting ready to donate. I got new jewelry again thank you so much. 2:56
Thank you... Fluked your post and became interested cuz my grandaughter's silver necklace & bracelet is at the jewelrer to undergo some cleaning.. I'll share this vid to her so can look after her jewelry pieces... thanks again
It works… I used Dawn dish soap instead. My Pandora bracelet got tarnished during house cleaning. I even threw my wedding ring in them to see what it did. And it came out very clean.
Thanks, I have two Pandora bracelets and a necklace. Unfortunately silver reacts with my skin and tarnishes very quickly, particularly the necklace. I will give this a go.
I just have to say a massive thank you I thought that I had ruined my Pandora bracelet and charms when I got a chemical on them but did this and they look so much better not as shiny at they used to be but I dont mind thats my fault for not being more careful
Fantastic! Do you know of any materials that would be harmed by this process? Like gemstones, glass, or other metals that may be part of the silver piece being cleaned? If so, how would you modify the process?
Hey there, this method isn’t great with yellow gold, you will need to leave out the detergent as it is can lead to the gold going slightly black. It will need wiping afterwards. You will be safe will other materials thought. Sorry for the slow response.
@Noel Schwartz I'm sorry to disagree with Rob, but some things must absolutely not be cleaned this way. Real pearls, enamel & some gemstones can be damaged by immersion in water alone, never mind the added chemicals. Also, plain sterling silver should be rinsed with clean water after cleaning as residue left behind can cause damage.
Wow it really works!! I've just followed your video step by step and hey presto!! I've got a lovely sparkly Pandora bracelet again🤩 looks brand new, thank you soooo much for sharing your video😁
I’m going to try this I just watched another video where I boiled the dawn soap and a little baking soda but it’s still not cleaned mines was pretty tarnished and filthy! Will I damage anything if I try this method after doing the other method?
@Julie Fiedler I saw where someone said they used liquid dish soap instead of the detergent & it worked for them. So, I'd say it's worth trying. I only have liquid detergent too
@@lorabuddyandrob2290 ive seen quite a few ladies in a pandora group I'm in that have ended up with some very shiny charms after using the aluminium foil method but no darkened defined oxidising like on the charms originally, maybe they left the charms in too long, and needing to reoxidise (chemical or egg method) or wait a very long time for original darkened sections to return. 🤷🏼♀️
@@bricknan my concern using this method is the salt. I am wondering if the bracelet should have been rinsed in warm water and dried to make sure there is nothing still on the bracelet as the salt may corrode the silver. Also can you use this method if the charms have stones in them?
For anyone wondering if Baking Powder can be used instead of Baking Soda, the answer is yes LOL. I only have baking powder so I used it (without knowing what could happen) and it worked :) just makes the water smell bad, so beware of that
I have been using this method for years on my wife’s and friend’s jewellery. I have never had an issue. However if overdone it is possible to remove the oxidation.
@@ElisaH-09 oh thanks , I have a good cleaner from the store I use, I meant I have never owned silver before so this is helpful . Interesting about the gold tho so salt cleans it ? I also heard the more you wear your silver the less it tarnishes ?
@@lorabuddyandrob2290 thanks super excited ! I bought another one as silver is so affordable . My gold bangle was thin and hollow so broke after just a few wears and cost so much :( I just fear it tarnishing so hope that doesn’t occur.
Hey there Miffy. You need the Aluminium foil. There is a transfer of Ions that moves between the silver and the aluminium that helps to clean. Basically the dirt and grime jump from the silver to the aluminium.
I work for Pandora, and we use a special liquid with a cleaning machine. This is an excellent technique for in-home cleaning.
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your

Last week I put away my pandora bracelet because it was looking dull, and I just tried your hack, OMG it worked. Thank You.
Very pleased for you. Thanks for the comment.
@@lorabuddyandrob2290how do I keep it that way for a while it changes back so quickly and turn even darker the next time
Wow, that is amazing. I just cleaned my Pandora bracelet and other silver jewel that I was getting ready to donate. I got new jewelry again thank you so much. 2:56
This really works! I can’t believe it! But it cleaned 3 of my bracelets and all my charms!!

Never clean pearls or opals this way .
That worked really well. Would a bit of white vinegar help activation do you think?
I’ll be honest Neil, I have not tried it. If you do please let me know how you get on.
Glad it worked well for you.
Works a treat, thank you.

What was the first substance you put in the water
Hey there, it was bicarbonate of soda.
Items :
Salt
Aluminum foil
Laundry powder
Baking soda
Thanks Kay
Helped so much so simple and easy thanks so much!!!
Really pleased to hear this.
Can you use dawn in place of laundry detergent?
Hey there. You can. This will work well
Amazing I will clean up my Pandora bracelet
Works like a charm. Just did mine they were black came out shiny. Thanks for the tips!!!
Great to hear, thank you very much for your comments.
Thank you so much!!! It’s worked magic! Ty again 😊
Great news. You are very welcome 🙏
What laundry powder did you use? I mean is it like Persil or Ariel? 😄
@@IsabelleWallis Dawn dish soap ( blue liquid)
Okay, but can you usee it on charms with enamel, wouldnt this harm the enamel?
I have used this method many time on our bracelets and many of the charms are enamelled. I haven’t had any issues at all.
can you use liquid detergent or does I have to be powder
Hey there. I have spoken to a few people that have said liquid detergent works well. Go for it.
Whats the purpose of using aliminium foil?
I’m going to try this I just watched another video where I boiled the dawn soap and a little baking soda but it’s still not cleaned mines was pretty tarnished and filthy! Will I damage anything if I try this method after doing the other method?
I hope that you tried this. It really is a great method.
i thought you cant get salt on these bracelets as it ruins the braclet chemically. that's why they say not to use it in the ocean.
Thank you for this information!
No problem. Hope it helps 🧽🧼
Thank you! It really works!
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. Please you’re pleased with the results.
Thank you so much it actually worked xxx
Thanks for the comment. Not a problem happy you are pleased with the results.
Will conditioner work as in fabric softener conditioner the liquid stuff that goes in the washing machine?
Hello, this needs to be waging detergent. Sadly fabric softener won’t work.
@@lorabuddyandrob2290 but can you use liquid detergent?
@Julie Fiedler I saw where someone said they used liquid dish soap instead of the detergent & it worked for them. So, I'd say it's worth trying. I only have liquid detergent too
Be careful doing this as it will take the oxidation off the details on the charms which should be darker
I’ve been doing this for several years and at these levels this has never occurred. All details still very clear.

Yes it is 🧼
Is this cleaning method safe if bracelet has pearls on them?
Hey there. Yes. No problem. Go for it
What does the foil do in this?
It attracts the grime.
great advice, thanks a lot
You’re very welcome.
Worked perfectly
Great to know. Glad this working for you.
Can’t wait to try this! Would this work on a sterling silver and gold David Yurman bracelet?
If it has gold with if the bracelet leave out the detergent as this with make gold go black. 😀
Can you clean earrings that have Whitby jet in them also or will it damage them?
Will it work on gold too?
Hey Jacanory. It will work on gold but please leave out the detergent.
It worked!! Omg thank youu
You're welcome!
Why do I need the foil?
Hey Judi. The foil attracts the dirt removed from the bracelet.
This made my bracelet yellow! Any idea how to fix it??
OMG. 275k view this hasn’t happened. Send me a picture please on IG: @Lorabuddyandrob
I use a silver polishing cloth comes out like new
Glad this works for you. I find that if it hasn’t been cleaned for a while this helps remove some of the indented grime. 🧼
I'm going to try this
i am going to do mine right now thanks
Great. Hope you are pleased with the results.
Thanks sooo much!!!❤
You are so very welcome.
Love ur dog
Thank you so much. I’ll let him know.

Can this be used on jewelry with precious (diamonds) and semi precious stones.
Hey there. Yes. My wife’s has a few charms with stones in and this works well.
Can i ask what’s the use of aluminium foil? Can I do without it?
Hey there Miffy. You need the Aluminium foil. There is a transfer of Ions that moves between the silver and the aluminium that helps to clean. Basically the dirt and grime jump from the silver to the aluminium.
Brilliant, thank you
You’re very welcome.
Can this be used on a silver and pearl bracelet?
It can. The method won’t damage the pearl in any way.
Being a jeweler for 30 years, do not put your pearls in this solution.
