Hello,

My sterling silver pieces had light yellowish tint on them and these were the ways I tried to remove it.
1. Silver dip solution - Yellow tint remained, albeit with a shinier look. Not very helpful.

2. Silver polishing cloth - It did the job but couldn't reach hard-to-get areas. Items like twisted chains can't be cleaned and polished by the cloth properly.

3. Electrocleaning - To my surprise, it had little effect on the tarnish. Did see some improvements, but not good enough.

4. Flame heat the piece, then dipped in pickle solution - Tarnish completely gone, but left a white dull finish on the piece. Had to be polished in a tumbling machine.

5. Tumbling - No effect on the tarnish.


Would like to know your ways of removing silver tarnish and how would you have done it on multiple pieces at the same time. Thanks!


Side question: How would I know when to replace my electrocleaning solution? Mine has turned a bit milky and I wondered if it affects the cleaning performance. I'm using Earthcoat Electroking, fyi.
