How to Keep Silver From Tarnishing



earrings for women

You should store your silverware properly to prevent tarnishing. This is caused by oxygen and sulfide reacting with silver, darkening it. This can make your favorite pieces look duller and less attractive.

How to Store and Maintain Shiny Items

Storing your silverware in an airtight box or chest that does not have any moisture will help to keep it shiny. It can be an old wooden chest or box, or a cabinet with glass and a lining made of treated flannel fabrics that contain silver-nitrate.

Alternatively, you can place your silver pieces in specially designed anti-tarnish pouches. These are available from jewelers and department and specialty stores where new silver pieces are sold, along with instructions on how to use them properly.

Store 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. This is particularly harmful for hollow wares like silver flatware that can be easily scratched.

You should store your silverware inside a cabinet, drawer, or cupboard in a cool and humid room. This could be a kitchen cabinet. If you must store it in a cooler or humid area, such as an attic or a basement, wrap it in a sheet of cheesecloth to prevent contact with the airborne sulfur that can lead to tarnishing.


Use Toothpaste to Clean Silver, Not the Other Way Around

If you have filigree, or if your corners are small and fine, toothpaste may not work. 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

Everyone has baking soda in their cupboard, so you might want to try using it on your silver. It's a non-toxic, safe way to remove tarnish. But it is abrasive.

Clean with Lemon

Lemon is also an effective natural cleaner to remove tarnish. Use a soft rag to rub the lemon on tarnished pieces of silver, then thoroughly rinse.

If you have silver jewellery that is fragile, such as a necklace comb or bracelets, then try to keep it in an enclosed compartment of a cabinet in your house. You can then easily access it when you need it.

Use Pacific Silvercloth

You can wrap your fragile silver objects in fabric that inhibits the tarnishing of silver. This type of fabric, known as Pacific Silvercloth, is embedded with thousands of tiny silver particles that catch the tarnishing gases before they reach your silver articles.
