Silver polishing cloth?
Can you recommend one? I don't think I want one with any chemcials in it- just something to wipe fingerprints off my pendant and shine it up a bit.
Where would I get one?

I got them from Bed Bath and Beyond but I think there are chemicals in them.

Re: Silver polishing cloth?
I do something like this to clean silver, works pretty good, but I have to say chemicals are so much easier.
DS got some real silverware as gifts and this is how I clean his stuff.
"For silverware or silver pieces that are tarnished (this works on silver jewelry too), you can clean them without chemicals and for only a few pennies using simple electrolysis. First you will need a glass or enamel sauce pan large enough to hold the silver pieces. (I think stainless steel would work too… you just don’t want to use an aluminum pan because the process will darken the aluminum.) Cover the inside bottom of this pan with aluminum foil. Make a solution of one quart of water, one tablespoon of baking soda, and one teaspoon of salt… if your silver items are large and you need to use more solution, increase all the ingredients proportionally. Bring the solution to a boil and place the silver pieces in it, making sure that all the pieces are completely submerged and that each piece touches the aluminum foil. Boil for at least five minutes, or longer if the silver pieces are very badly tarnished. (If you don’t want to boil your items, use the same method and pour boiling water into the pan. This will work although not as well as the boiling method with badly tarnished silver.) Remove the pieces and wash with warm, soapy water. This process works because tarnish on silver is caused by sulfur ions. The water, salt, and baking soda make an ion-carrying solution that carries the sulfur ions from the silver to the aluminum foil. Another plus with this method is that it doesn’t cause wear to the silver like repeated rubbings with silver polish does. Try it… this really works, and you’ll save money, too!"
