THRIFTY THURSDAY

How to clean your silver jewelry with kitchen supplies.. All you need is a hot water, baking soda and disposable aluminum roasting pan.. Now I would not clean any silver that has a precious stone not sure how the Baking Soda would be on the the jewel.. I use an piece of flannel to do the buffing after it is clean... This method has worked great on my native silver jewelry that I have.. I have attached a video on how this works...
