Hand washing: Always wash your silverware by hand in warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the silver.
Dry thoroughly: After washing, dry your silverware with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and tarnishing.
Store properly: Store your silverware in a dry, airtight container to protect it from dust, humidity, and other pollutants. Avoid wrapping it in newspaper or rubber bands, as they can cause discoloration.
Polish regularly: Use a silver polishing cloth or solution to remove tarnish and restore shine. Avoid over-polishing, as this can wear down the silver plating.
Use gently: Be gentle when using your silverware, especially when cutting food with sharp knives. Avoid using it with acidic or salty foods, as they can cause pitting and corrosion.
