ANTIQUE CARE - Silver

There are a number of safe silver polishes on the market that you can use to clean your silver. You will want to use a soft cloth when polishing and cleaning silver. And always make sure that you remove all traces of polish as it can clog up decorated areas.

Don't use toothbrushes when cleaning as they could scratch the surface.

Don't over polish silver as you may erase the decoration and eventually wear down the silver.

If you have to wash your silver do it quickly in lukewarm soapy water. Rinse and dry very thoroughly. Never soak your silver or put it in the dishwasher.

Wrapping silver in an anti-tarnish cloth will help protect the silver from pollutants and scratches.
