Things You Will Need
You don’t have to take your silver to a jewelry shop to have it refined without acid. You can do it yourself with a few things found around your home.
-
Boil 1 cup of water in a pot.
-
Line a glass cooking dish with aluminum foil.
-
Put the silver inside the glass cooking dish on top of the foil.
-
Cover the silver with 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of salt.
-
Pour the boiling water onto the silver. Only pour enough water into the dish so it’s covering the silver.
-
Wait for the water to mix with the baking soda. The mixture should smell like rotten eggs.
-
Use a fork or spoon to move the silver around in the mixture. Wait 30 minutes for the water to cool and then pull your newly cleaned silver out of the water.
-
Use a towel to dry the silver.
