The oxidation and blackening of the ring is due to the reaction between silver and sulfur ions in the air. It can be cleaned with items such as toothpaste, cola, talcum powder, cigarette ash, tea, vinegar, silver washing solution, alcohol, etc.
1. Toothpaste cleaning
Apply particle free toothpaste to the surface of the ring, gently scrub with your hands, and then rinse thoroughly.
2. Cola soaking
Soak the ring in diluted cola for about ten minutes and scrub it clean.
3. Body powder cleaning
First, wipe the ring clean with a damp towel, then pour talcum powder onto the towel and repeatedly wipe the ring to remove stains.
4. Ash wiping
Wrap the cigarette ash in a cotton cloth and wet it, then put the ring inside the cigarette ash and rub it. Finally, take it out and rinse off the surface of the cigarette ash.
5. Tea soaking
Prepare some overnight strong tea, keep the tea leaves, soak the blackened ring in the tea for about half an hour, and scrub it several times with a soft brush or cloth to achieve the cleaning effect.
6. Wipe with vinegar
Acetic acid in vinegar can dissolve the black substance on the ring. Dip a cotton swab in an appropriate amount of white vinegar and gently wipe the blackened area of the silver ring.
7. Wipe with a silver cloth
When purchasing a silver ring, merchants will give away a silver wiping cloth. If the oxidation marks on the silver ring are not very heavy, you can directly use the silver wiping cloth to wipe it.
8. Wash with silver water
Purchase a bottle of silver washing water online or at a jewelry store, soak the ring in the water for 2-3 seconds, and then rinse it off with water.
9. Alcohol cleaning
Alcohol can effectively remove black substances from the surface of rings. Dip a cotton swab in an appropriate amount of alcohol and apply evenly to the blackened area of the ring. After about five minutes, rinse and dry off.
10. Counter cleaning
The counters selling rings usually provide free cleaning after-sales service, which can be consulted at.
