How to clean silver?
- When you are done using silver that is tarnish-free, make sure that you use phosphate-free detergent to clean it.
- Once you also notice that there are already marks of tarnish on your silver, wash the material lightly, again with a phosphate-free detergent, so that in the future, you won’t have a hard time removing it.
- When drying or polishing, use a clean and soft cotton ball.
- Polish it by rubbing the material in a straight, back and forth manner to maintain its appearance. Never rub it in a circular motion.
Once it’s cleaned, you’ll see a purplish stain on it. Please don’t try to remove it. These stains are called “firestain” and you’ll usually see that if it’s a nineteenth century piece. The stain helps resist your item from tarnish.
Please don’t use dishwashers, toothpaste and some other non-advisable chemicals just for safety. Use only recommended polishes and cleaners.
