Hi all.

I bought the 10 years conmemoration keyring long time ago and it come to be some
dirty by the use. I wonder if it is really made of silver and can use any of the
methods to clean silver or if anyone cleaned it how did it ?

Thanks in advance and excuse my english. See ya.

    Hi Manuel

       I have this keyring too, it's almost in mint condition because I've 
never used it, (I keep it in a Sealy bag). Was it really 2001 that these 
keyrings were produced? My goodness, time flies... :)

      Ok, it's not silver, but steel. When you say it's 'dirty', do you mean 
that it's just grubby and dirty with wear? Or it's very scratched, and you 
would like those scratches taken out? If the former, then get some household 
ammonia, (brilliant for cleaning things), add it to some warm water and add 
a squeeze of washing-up liquid too. Use half a capful of ammonia. Then with 
a soft toothbrush, give it a good scrub. Rinse thoroughly. That should bring 
it up nice and bright again.

    If it's the latter, then the only way to get those scratches out is to 
take it to a working jewellers, (with their own workshop and polishing 
machine), and see if they can polish out those scratches for you. There 
would probably be a small charge for doing this.

    I hope that helps.

Another option to take the dirt and grime out is to use ordinary white vinegar. 
Soak, rub, rince and dry.
