How To Take Care Of Silver

1. Keep it Dry

Moisture tarnishes silver, so avoid wearing it in the shower, pool, or when sweating heavily.

Remove it before washing hands, cleaning, or applying lotions/perfume.

2. Store it Properly

Use an airtight container or a jewelry box lined with anti-tarnish fabric.

Store pieces separately to avoid scratching.

Include a piece of chalk, silica gel, or anti-tarnish strip in the storage to absorb moisture.

3. Clean it Regularly

Quick clean: Use a silver polishing cloth to gently rub off tarnish.

DIY soak: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak the jewelry for 5–10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry.

Deep clean (for heavier tarnish): Line a bowl with aluminum foil, add hot water, 1 tbsp baking soda, and 1 tbsp salt. Soak silver for a few minutes, rinse, and dry.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Keep silver away from household cleaners, bleach, or sulfur-containing materials (like eggs or rubber bands).
