Holidays traditionally call for bringing out the best jewelry and also silver wear such as the best silver knives and forks when entertaining family and friends. Bringing out the best may lead you to the task of cleaning the tarnished family silver knives and forks as well as the family heirloom jewelry you want to wear to show off to your grandparents and friends – if it has not been used for awhile.
There’s a fast and safe way to remove tarnish from silver – one that can be done easily and quickly by you. That’s by placing your tarnished silver pieces in an ultrasonic cleaner bath containing a cleaning solution to remove dirt and oxides from silver. The advantage of sonic cleaning is the speed, safe and gentle on your precious jewelry and tarnished silver kitchen ware.
Selecting and Using an Ultrasonic Silver Cleaner
Ultrasonic cleaners are available in a variety of sizes. I have trialed and tested the bewlow top 5 ultra sonic cleaners. Some come equipped with a stainless steel tank and plastic mesh basket for safely to hold valuable silver pieces. The digital ultra sonic cleaners come equipped with a timer for cleaning from 5 to 30 minutes this attractively designed ultrasonic cleaner is also widely used to clean personal household items such as jewelry, glasses, scissors and tweezers, thereby extending its utility.
As a suggestion cleaning detergent such as elma noble clean, available on Amazon, that intensively cleans and brightens silver in just a few minutes.
Also as a tip an anti tarnish finish helps keep your silver bright for a long time.

How Sonic Cleaning Tarnished Silver Works
Cleaning is accomplished by a process called ultrasonic cavitation produced when ultrasonic transducers, vibrating at frequencies such as 35 kHz, produce minute bubbles in the cleaning bath. These countless bubbles implode and carry away tarnish and other dirt and grime when they contact the surface of the silver. The bubbles are so tiny they penetrate the small spaces to remove tarnish – Say goodbye to time wasted in using a polish cloth to only being able to rub the larger surfaces.
