How to Clean Sterling Silver Dog Charms
It has become a quite a fashion statement to dress up and
decorate your favorite doggie pal with charms and jewelry.
But how do you clean your dog's Sterling silver dog charms?
Dogs have natural oil that is on their skin that will affect
any jewelry piece they wear. Their breath is also humid and
it will make Sterling silver charms that are hung around
their neck tarnish faster. If you combine that with any
environment that is also humid your Sterling silver dog
charms may tarnish within days.
Tarnish is the result of sulfides, air and silver reacting
to create a thin layer of black on the Sterling silver
jewelry. It will begin by turning the dog charm yellowish
and then eventually it will turn black.
The best natural way to clean any silver piece including
Sterling silver dog charms is to get a clean soft cotton
cloth and buff the piece until the layer of tarnish rubs
off. This makes the piece shine like it did when you bought
it and it will make the piece age better.
There are other alternatives but they require chemicals that
can harm the Sterling silver dog charm and possibly your
dog. It is better to just knuckle down and buff the Sterling
silver dog charm than to possibly harm your dog or the
jewelry you bought for it.
It doesn't take much work to make your Sterling silver dog
charm beautiful again. So trying to make the process go
faster is really a waste of time and expense.
Any other oils or dirt that have clung to your Sterling
silver dog charm will be rubbed off onto the cloth as well,
so you don't have to worry about any special cleaners. And
rinsing the piece in water is actually detrimental to the
Sterling silver dog charm. Keep you pieces of Sterling
silver dog jewelry beautiful and keep your pet healthy by
cleaning the Sterling silver dog charms the old-fashioned
way with a little time, patience and loving care.
