How to care for Silver
To care for silver, follow these steps:
-
Clean regularly with a soft cloth or specialized silver cleaner to remove tarnish and fingerprints.
-
Store silver in a cool, dry place away from humidity and light. Wrap items in acid-free paper or cloth to prevent tarnish or in a zip lock.
-
Avoid exposing silver to chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine, as these can cause damage or discoloration.
-
Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals to clean silver, as this can scratch or damage the surface.
-
For heavily tarnished silver, you can use a specialized silver polishing cloth or a solution of baking soda and water to gently remove the tarnish.
-
If silver becomes damaged or bent, it is best to have it repaired by a professional rather than trying to fix it yourself, to avoid causing further damage.
