You can use a soft cotton cloth or a Sunshine Cloth. Avoid dips. They leave residue deposits between each bead, and make the necklace stiff. A good alternative is to take dry baking soda (or baking powder), and rub it on the liquid silver beads. Then pat and brush the dry powder off. http://www.dewatabali.com ZiaBali Sterling Silver Beads Wholesale Storehttp://www.dewatabali.com
