Silver is one of the most beautiful, precious & most valuable metals in the world and people love to display it..... UNTIL it becomes black & tarnished. Cleaning silver is a huge, time consuming chore that no one wants to do so most people hide their prized silver pieces in the cubbord or closet once they become tarnished and unsightly. Many people pull out their silver back out to use or display for the holidays only to find it black & filthy. There is an easy way to maintain beautiful silver but be careful with what you choose to use.
NEVER use any home recipes like: aluminum & baking soda or salt! This process removes silver, along with the tarnish, and does not polish the silver. Heck, salt corrodes silver! Toothpaste scratches silver. Most store bought paste or cream silver cleaners require you to rub or buff the silver, which in actuality, is the same as sanding off the tarnish! Using any of these methods may work great for you with out any problems for a long time. One day you might use one of these cleaning processes & notice you have rubbed through the silver plating or rubbed off the designs on sterling silver!
I found out through a silversmith that the safest & best way to clean silver is to use Silvermate liquid silver cleaner. Silvermate cleans & polishes silver plate & sterling silver in just a few seconds without rubbing or harming your silver. Just submerge a piece of silver in Silvermate, move it back and forth for up to 20 seconds, rinse it off & dry it w/ a towel. Silvermate makes cleaning AND MAINTAINING silver & gold so easy it doesn't even seem like a chore. Look for Silvermate on Ebay in their store called Silvermate52.
