DiscolorationïŒblack or sulfide is an unavoidable aspect of owning silver, especially if you don't use it regularly or store it properly."Silver tarnishes primarily because particulates containing acid or sulfur in the air are deposited on the silver flakes," says Jeffrey Herman, founder of the American Society of Silversmiths. Fortunately, silver tarnishes can be easily removed.
How To Remove Silver Tarnish Properly?
Some chemical dips can be used to remove the tarnish but can actually damage the silver surface. while ultrasonic cleaner can remove silver tarnish quickly and safely.
Ultrasonic cleaning is accomplished by a process called ultrasonic cavitation in an ultrasonic cleaning solution. Cavitation is created when generator-powered ultrasonic transducers create billions of minute bubbles that implode and carry away contaminants when they contact the surface of pieces being cleaned. The bubbles reach into intricate pattern crevices to safely remove tarnish virtually impossible to access with a brush or polishing cloth.

clean silver products , use silver washing liquid. sodium-free club soda, dish soap(free of dyes, perfumes, and moisturizers),warm water and a hint of gentle soap, baby shampoo are recommanded.

3. Time â Depending on how dirty the items are, the time is usually from 1 to 20 minutes. After the cleaning is done, leave your items inside for another 5-10 minutes so that the dirt particles that were knocked off your pieces by the sound waves can fall to the bottom of the tank.
