Beat the tarnish, not your jewelry Many of them, including the widely available brand Tarn X, contain thiourea, which carries some serious health risks.

Polishing silver is done to remove tarnish and shine silver pieces and should only be done a few times in the lifetime of a piece. This is because every time silver is polished, metal is removed from the piece.
