There are two levels of clean when talking about sterling silver jewelry. The piece of sterling jewelry could be either simply dirty or tarnished or both.
If the piece is only dirty a solution of Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia can be used. Mix half water and Mr. Clean with a small amount of ammonia. This is the same solution many jewelers I know use in their ultrasonic to clean all types of fine jewelry. Allow the jewelry to soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry. You can repeat if need be.
More likely than not sterling jewelry is also tarnished. Sterling does tarnish much quicker than gold or platinum. Removing tarnish from sterling silver jewelry is easy. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste and use the paste to rub on the jewelry to remove the tarnish. Rinse with water then dry.

How do you clean 925 silver?
The best way to clean silver is to use a jewelry cleaning cloth. These cloths contain special chemicals that remove tarnish from silver, and the cotton also buffs the jewelry. Another option is to use Windex (as long as there are no stones or rocks on the jewelry). To clean off the tarnish, dip the silver jewelry in Windex and then in clean, warm water. You can also make a paste of baking soda and water, and leave the mixture on your jewelry until shiny. It is not advised to clean silver using soap, or anything other than a jewelry cleaning cloth. These could scratch the silver or cause a chemical reaction.
