Polishing Silver Bangles

Silver jewellery is pretty easy to take care of. If there is any tarnish on your silver bangles it can be removed or cleaned by using a detergent, which does not have phosphate. Silver that has been washed gently with utmost care and dried immediately will very rarely require any tarnish removal.

When the tarnish is yellowish brown, it can be removed easily without too many efforts. But it becomes increasingly difficult to remove the tarnish as it eventually becomes black in colour.

It is always better to clean the bangles regularly followed by drying them or wiping them with soft cloth rather than waiting till the tarnish becomes black making it extremely difficult to remove it. For extreme cases abrasive polishes would be needed.

While drying or polishing silver bangles or any other silver jewellery take extra care and make sure that you make use of clean and a soft cotton cloth. Certain items may also need you to use a soft and a clean cotton ball.

There are more chances of starling silver getting tarnished quickly when compared to the other types, especially when it is exposed to air containing salt contents in areas near the seas or oceans or when it is exposed to products, which contain sulphur. Thus, to make your silver bangles look their best it is recommended to make use of non- abrasive silver cleaning product.

Along with cleaning your jewellery regularly, it is also important to store your jewellery properly. To do so, you can also buy a non- abrasive tarnish resistant pouch. You can also store your jewellery in a plastic airtight zip locks or in airtight environment with low humidity. Whenever not in use, the jewellery should be placed in a protective pouch. Ensure that it is not placed in a cardboard box or a paper, which would increase the rate of oxidation.
