Cleaning
We suggest silver dip or silver clothes for cleaning our work.  Here at Latham & Neve we use silver cleaning  dips and clothes  from Town Talk, an established British company renowned for their quality products.

Dipping a cotton bud in silver dip  or old soft tooth brush is good for cleaning stubborn areas and recesses.  On matt and rough finish areas we recommend cleaning with a soft tooth brush with silver dip.  Finally,  a small abrasive pad  be used (ensure jewellery is clean and dry).

Another very effective method for very tarnished jewellery often encountered by continous wear and very little care!

1.  Line a glass container with alumiumium foil, add one teaspoon of salt and one
teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, add 1/2 litre of boiling water.
2.  Leave the jewellery in the container for 30 minutes making sure that the silver is in
contact with the aluminium foil.
3.  Remove the jewellery rub any stubborn marks and dry.

NB Do use the above method on oxidised silver see below

Care of oxidised silver
is slightly different and should be cleaned with warm water with washing-up  liquid using a soft tooth brush.  For persistent tarnish try ammonia and washing-up liquid in hot water.
