Electrolytic cleaning of Silver Jewelry

+++

How can I "polish" silver jewelry using electrolysis? There is a lot of crevices in them that I am unable to clean well with the isothiocyanate paste they sell in jewelry store.

Hi, M. Many readers have reported great success with commercial "electrolytic cleaning plates" ==>

or simple aluminum foil and washing soda. Please see letter 4785 for one. Good luck.
