You should store your silverware properly to prevent tarnishing. This is caused by oxygen and sulfide reacting with silver, darkening it. This can take the shine off of your favorite pieces and make them look less than beautiful.
Keep It Shiny: Storage and Maintenance
You can keep silver objects shiny by storing them in an enclosed container with no moisture. It could be a wooden chest or old-fashioned box. Another option is a glass enclosed cabinet that has a lining treated with silver or other chemicals to retard the tarnishing.
You can also put your silver into special anti-tarnish bag made for this purpose. These bags are available at department and specialty store and jewelers where new silver is sold. Instructions on how to properly use them are also included.
Avoid Storing in Plastic Bags
When you store silver in plastic bags, you run the risk of trapping moisture as well as introducing sulfur particles that can tarnish your items. It is especially dangerous for hollow flatware such as silver, since the rough bag material can easily scratch it.
Store your silverware in an area that is not humid or hot, like a cabinet or drawer in the kitchen. If you are storing it in a humid or cool area such as the basement or an attic, then wrap it with cheesecloth. This prevents it from being in contact with sulfur in the air.
Avoid using Toothpaste when Silver is in the Picture
Even though toothpaste can be an effective way to clean silver, it is not recommended if the piece you are cleaning has filigree details or corners that are tight. Sterling silver is a good example. This can also be harsh on delicate jewelry. Consult a professional to find out if it is safe for your item.
Brushing With Baking Soda
You probably have baking soda in your cupboard. Try using it to remove tarnish from silver. It's a non-toxic, safe way to remove tarnish. But it is abrasive.
Clean with Lemon
The same is true for silver. A lemon-based cleaner can effectively remove tarnish. With a soft cloth you can rub lemon juice on tarnished metals. Rinse thoroughly.
If you have a piece of silver that is very delicate, such as a necklace, comb or bracelet, try to store it in a small compartment in a drawer in your home. This can make it easier to access when you need to use it.
Pacific Silvercloth
If your silver articles are too delicate to store in a drawer or cabinet you can buy and wrap them with silver-inhibiting material. Pacific Silvercloth is a type of fabric that has thousands of small silver particles embedded in it. These particles catch the tarnishing gasses before they can reach your silver items.
