How do you clean tarnish off jewelry?

For sterling jewelry jewelers use a sterling silver dip. I like Hagerty's dip. Jewelers also use baking soda and water when they don't have a sterling silver dip. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste. Rub on your jewelry then rinse and dry. I would not use toothpaste. Using toothpaste is an old wife's tale and can harm your jewelry if you have a high polish fine jewelry. For platinum or gold, use Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia. This is what jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry and is safe for all types of jewelry. Half Mr. Clean and water with just a little ammonia.
