Helpful Tip - Cleaning Silver

justlinda
10 years ago

Read that regular toothpaste works just as well as expensive silver cleaners that can be purchased.

Tried it....it works! Well on sterling it worked. I figure that if it's something that I polish my teeth with, then it's good enough to polish my silver.

I used it in the same manner as those "cream" polishes.
