Tarnish on silver can be removed using the same method as that used to clean teeth, with the use of a mild abrasive like that found in toothpaste.

Following this, wash it thoroughly with warm water and dry it off before buffing it to a shine with a clean, soft cloth.

After applying toothpaste and waiting a few minutes, the gum should come loose and be easy to remove. The gum is easier to remove from the hair because, like when brushing your teeth, the sugar in the gum is broken down by the toothpaste. Prepare a bowl of warm water for rinsing, and then pat your hair dry with a towel after washing it.
