Colloidal silver is often used as a medicine for its antibacterial properties. However, impurities in colloidal silver can have negative effects. It is important to use clean, pure silver rods in order to avoid creating a toxic substance.
Prevention
Keep your rods clean by wiping them off after each use. Wipe them with a paper towel; using a little distilled white vinegar with the towel is particularly effective.
Vinegar
Distilled white vinegar is safe and effective for cleaning silver rods. You can wrap your silver rods in a vinegar-soaked paper towel for a little while before making colloidal silver in order to remove tarnish or oils from your fingers.
Scouring
Using a small scouring pad on a silver rod is also effective for cleaning. This method requires you to be careful so you do not remove more silver than is necessary, which wastes valuable silver.
