I bought some inexpensive silver cleaner at the grocery store, although if you are in a pickle try toothpaste and a soft toothbrush.

To keep the surface smooth and scratch free it is not usually recommended to use bleach or abrasives.  All cleaning recommendations I've seen suggest the mildest cleaning solution possible.  Baking soda, vinegar, ammonia, and hand (not automatic) dishwashing liquid seem to be the cleaners of choice.\n\nI haven't seen any inforamtion on the effects of using bleach, just that it is not recommended.\n\nI hope this helps.

Try changing the pH of the system and lowering the voltage.  If those don't help go the other way.\n\nhttp://www.cehs.siu.edu/Chemical/silver_waste.htm\n\nhttp://www.p2pays.org/ref/01/00048.htm\n\nhttp://www.finishing.com/73/82.shtml

Use any good silver or jewlery polish, and the oxidation will be gone. Bleach is mostly chlorine, which causes oxidation on silver. Toothpaste and an old toothbrush will also clean oxidation from silver, without being too abrasive. Lesson? Bleach and silver DO NOT MIX!

This website should provide you with information: http://www.goodmanandsons.com/Birthstones_nov.asp\n\nMany jewelry stores will clean items for free or for a low price, however. If you're not sure how to clean it, it's best to let professionals do it to avoid damaging the piece.

You can use the wash machine, but it's loud.  The best way is to let is soak in some soap and bleach for a while, the run water over them and dry

You don't. Instead, you take it to a jeweler and have them do it for you, they have the proper tools and knowledge. Ideally you should take it to the place you bought it.

I use ordinary dish soap and hot water.  If it is under your nails, a scrub brush can get that.

It is very easy to clean copper jewelry and keep it a beautiful copper color.  You don't have to have a store-bought cleaner, you can use things that can easily be found around the house in most any kitchen; vinegar, lemon juice, or ketchup!  (Click this link White Tiger Tracks Store to go to my  store where you can find great copper rings, necklaces and bracelets like my His & Hers Copper Baby Boomers Bracelets )\n\nPlace your copper jewelry in a glass, or plastic container, not metal.  I use a drinking glass.  Pour enough vinegar over it to completely cover it.  Let stand for 5-10 minutes.  Rinse.  Dry.  You're done!

If you don't have time to brush your teeth, suck on stainless steel silverwear. Works kind of like those stainless steel soap bars you use to get the garlic smell of your hands.

Sometimes they are better.  There is a formula for cleaning grubby little brass items (screws, hinges, hooks, Meccano gears etcetera): mix 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar with one and a half teaspoons of washing-up liquid and a little cold water, add half a pint of scalding water, add the metal items, stir for 60 to 90 seconds, drain and rinse.  This either leaves the items gleaming, or loosens their tarnish so much that a gentle scrub with cream cleanser leaves them gleaming.  Nothing commercial is anything like as good as this.
