How to prevent silver from tarnishing

When you store silverware, it's important to keep it from tarnishing. This is caused by oxygen and sulfide reacting with silver, darkening it. This can make your favorite pieces look duller and less attractive.

Storage and Keeping it Shiny

To keep your silver shiny, store it in a container that is airtight and does not contain any moisture. 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.

Silver can be placed in bags specially made to prevent tarnish. These are available in jewelers and department or specialty stores that sell silver, with instructions on the proper way to use them.

Don't store your 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. It is especially dangerous for hollow flatware such as silver, since the rough bag material can easily scratch it.

Try to store your silverware in a drawer or cabinet in a room where it doesn't get hot or humid, such as a kitchen cabinet or hutch. If it must be stored in a cool or humid place, such an attic or basement, you can wrap the silverware with a sheet cheesecloth. It will protect it from airborne sulfur which can cause it tarnishing.


Avoid Using Toothpaste on Silver

If you have filigree, or if your corners are small and fine, toothpaste may not work. Sterling silver in particular is susceptible to this. It can also damage delicate jewelry. Always consult with a professional if you are unsure if toothpaste will be suitable for your piece.

Brushing With Baking Soda

You probably have baking soda in your cupboard. Try using it to remove tarnish from silver. It's a non-toxic, safe way to remove tarnish. But it is abrasive.

Clean with Lemon

The same is true for silver. A lemon-based cleaner can effectively remove tarnish. You can use a squeaky soft cloth to wipe the lemon onto tarnished surfaces. Then, rinse thoroughly.

Try to keep any delicate silver items, like a necklace or comb, in a small drawer at home. This makes it easier to reach when you are ready to use the item.

Consider Pacific Silvercloth

If you have fragile silver pieces that can't be kept in a cabinet or drawer, you may want to purchase silver-inhibiting fabrics and wrap them. 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.
