After a few minutes, silver items should be rinsed with plain water and then wiped with a clean, soft cloth.

Ammonia and soap

A solution of ammonium hydroxide diluted with soapy water also demonstrates its effectiveness in cleaning silver items.

The liquid is prepared very simply: take a deep container, pour a liter of water into it, dip it in and almost immediately remove the soap, and add a tablespoon of ammonia to the resulting cloudy solution.
