Can I make my own sterling silver cleaner from stuff usually found at home? Don't want to use harsh chems.

I have a lot of sterling silver jewelry (some with gemstones) and rather than buying a harsh chemical from the store, can I make my own from products found (usually) at home?

Cleaning your jewelry often keeps tarnish to a minimum. The fastest and most economical way to clean sterling silver, if needed, includes using warm water, a mild liquid detergent and a soft toothbrush. Dry your silver jewelry pieces completely with a clean 100% cotton cloth prior to storing. Clean or dry your jewelry in an up and down direction as circular motion may cause scratches. Do not use polyester, paper or coarse fabrics to wipe or dry the jewelry because these materials contain wood fibres or synthetics which can cause tiny scratches.
