Keeping jewellery and silverware looking their best requires the right cleaning solution for the job - and not all products work the same way. A gentle liquid cleaner is perfect for routine maintenance, a dip formula reaches the intricate spots a cloth cannot, and a professional pickle powder is essential after soldering. Our Jewellery Cleaning Solutions collection covers all three, and here is how they compare.
1. McKlords Jewellery Cleaner - Gold and Silver Polish 500ml · £18.51
The McKlords Jewellery Cleaner is the everyday essential - a 500ml liquid formula engineered to gently but effectively remove the daily buildup of oils, lotions, and environmental grime from both gold and silver pieces. At £18.51 it is the most affordable of the three, and the generous 500ml bottle means it will last a long time as part of a regular cleaning routine.
It is formulated to be safe on both metals, making it a versatile single-bottle solution for a mixed jewellery collection. If you wear rings, necklaces, or bracelets daily and want to keep them looking freshly polished without any fuss, this is the product to reach for.
Specs: 500ml · Suitable for gold and silver · Liquid formula · Everyday maintenance use

2. Goddard's Silver Dip Tarnish Remover - 2 Pack (295ml each) · £31.93
The Goddard's Silver Dip 2-Pack is the specialist silver solution. Where the McKlords cleaner works by application and wiping, Goddard's works by submersion - you simply dip your silver piece into the liquid, and the formula dissolves decades of tarnish in seconds without any scrubbing. This makes it uniquely effective on intricate pieces: filigree work, fork tines, chain links, and engraved surfaces that a cloth simply cannot reach.
Goddard's is the UK's most trusted name in silver care, and this formula also leaves behind a protective barrier that slows future tarnishing. The 2-pack gives you 590ml in total - plenty for a full silverware collection or regular jewellery maintenance over many months.
Specs: 2 x 295ml (590ml total) · Silver only · Dip/submersion formula · Scrub-free · Leaves protective barrier
Best for: Silver jewellery, silverware, and cutlery - especially intricate or heavily tarnished pieces where a cloth will not reach.

3. Stonemusle Safety Pickle Powder for Jewellery Cleaning - 500g · £34.90
The Stonemusle Safety Pickle Powder is in a different category entirely - this is a professional studio product for jewellers and metalworkers. After soldering, metal develops fire scale, oxides, and flux deposits that cannot be removed by a standard cleaner. Pickle powder, mixed with water to create a liquid compound, is the industry-standard solution for stripping these residues and restoring a clean surface ready for finishing and polishing.
This 500g container is formulated for gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and various cupreous metals - covering the full range of metals a working jeweller encounters. The safety designation means it is a safer alternative to traditional acid-based pickles, making it more suitable for studio and home workshop use.
Specs: 500g powder (mix with water) · Gold, silver, platinum, palladium and cupreous metals · Removes fire scale, oxides and flux · Professional / studio use
Best for: Jewellers, silversmiths, and metalworkers who solder and need to clean fire scale and flux residue from their work.
