<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8296084, member: 27832&quot;]Bleach is great for breaking up organic stuff -- it&#039;s alkaline, which breaks down fats and proteins, and it&#039;s an oxidizer, which kills things and destroys some coloring agents.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s also got lots of chloride (like from salt, as opposed to <i>chlorine</i>), and chloride is <i>very bad</i> for metals in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>Black spots on silver are usually silver sulfide. Bleach <i>will</i> destroy that, because it&#039;ll oxidize the sulfide to something colorless. But be really careful about <i>thoroughly</i> rinsing the bar when you&#039;re done, finishing with a rinse or two of DISTILLED water. Lots of other things will remove those spots as well; I&#039;d recommend one of the dips mentioned above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
