Cleaning silver and gold metals with baking soda

Baking soda is an effective option for cleaning silver and gold metals. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Gather the necessary materials: You will need baking soda, warm water, a soft toothbrush or a soft cloth, and a soft towel or drying cloth.
2. Mix the cleaning solution: Mix two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl with warm water until a paste forms.
3. Apply the solution: Apply the baking soda solution onto the silver or gold metal and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush or cloth. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the metal.
4. Rinse and dry: Rinse the metal with warm water and dry it carefully with a soft towel or drying cloth. Do not rub the metal too hard to avoid scratching the surface.
5. Apply a polish: To enhance the shine, you can apply a silver or gold metal polish after the metal is dry.

Remember to always test the solution on a small area before applying it to the entire metal to make sure it does not cause damage or discoloration.
