New Pandora Bracelet turned cleaning cloth black?

Posted at: 2014-07-17 
I bought a new pandora bracelet yesterday from the store along with a cleaning cloth. This morning I was trying to test out the cleaning cloth and the entire cloth came back very dirty and almost completely black. Is this supposed to happen? The bracelet and charms are new...why would the cloth turn black? how long/often should I be switching out the cloth?I bought a new pandora bracelet yesterday from the store along with a cleaning cloth.

It's only silver tarnish, and that is precisely why you have a cleaning cloth. They actually use a chemical to produce the tarnish in the engravings - that's what the black lines are - and when you rub them with the cloth, you are rubbing off some of the tarnish they have purposefully put there for contrast. There is nothing wrong here. It's working as it should. Those cloths are easily bought - probably in your supermarket. Don't be fooled into having to buy an official Pandora cleaning cloth, which is worth about a half a penny. What a racket this stuff is!
