Learn2 Clean Silverware (continued)
Step 1: Prevent tarnish

  • Wash silver by hand, never in the dishwasher.
  • It is best to clean the silver before any food stuck to it becomes a permanent attachment. There are some foods which are particularly evil. These foods include fruit, fruit juice, salad dressing, salt, olives and vinegar.
  • Rubber causes tarnish. Keep it away from your silver.

If you don't have the special cloth bags to store your silverware in, you can substitute plastic baggies. After you wash and dry your silver thoroughly (see Step 2), place the silver in the baggie and squeeze the air out of it.

When storing your silverware, activated charcoal or similar commercial products will absorb tarnishing gases that develop in the container. You can also purchase anti-tarnish strips to store with your silver.
