Maintaining Purity: Cleaning .999% Pure Colloidal Silver Rods

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.
