How to Prevent Silver from Tarnishing

It's crucial to store silverware in a way that prevents it from tarnishing. The silver darkens when oxygen and sulfur react with it. This can reduce the shine on your favorite pieces.

Keep It Shiny: Storage and Maintenance

To keep your silver shiny, store it in a container that is airtight and does not contain any moisture. This can be in an old-fashioned wooden chest, or in a glass-enclosed cupboard with a lining that is treated with silver nitrate.

Silver can be placed in bags specially made to prevent tarnish. They are available from jewelry stores, department and speciality shops where silver is sold. They come with instructions and are easy to use.

Do not store in plastic bags

If you store your silver in a plastic bag, you risk trapping moisture and introducing sulfur particulates that can tarnish the items. This is especially dangerous when it comes to hollow ware, such as flatware in silver. The bag's rough material can easily scratch this type of flatware.

Store your silverware in an area that is not humid or hot, like a cabinet or drawer in the kitchen. If you need to store it in an area with a lower temperature or humidity, such as a basement or attic, cover it with a cheesecloth sheet to avoid contact with airborne sulfide that can cause it to tarnish.


Do Not Use Toothpaste On Silver

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 in particular is susceptible to this. You should consult a professional before using toothpaste on any delicate jewelry.

Brushing with Baking Soda

Most people have baking powder in their cabinets, so it might be worth using on silver. It's a non-toxic, safe way to remove tarnish. But it is abrasive.

Clean with Lemon

The lemon is an excellent natural cleaner that can 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. This will make it easier for you to get to it when needed.

Use 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.
