How to Protect Silver from Tarnishing



jewelry supplies tassels

Store silverware to prevent it from tarnishing. Tarnish is the result of oxygen and sulfur reacting with the silver and darkening the silver. It can dull the shine of your favourite pieces, making them less beautiful.

Storage and Keeping It Shiny

Storing your silverware in an airtight box or chest that does not have any moisture will help to keep it shiny. You can use an old-fashioned chest or wooden box. Or, you can use a glass cabinet lined with treated flannel fabric that contains silver nitrate.

You can also put your silver into special anti-tarnish bag made for this purpose. These are available from jewelers and department and specialty stores where new silver pieces are sold, along with instructions on how to use them properly.

Store in plastic bags

Store your silverware in a sealed plastic bag to avoid introducing moisture or sulfur particles which can tarnish them. This is especially dangerous when it comes to hollow ware, such as flatware in silver. The bag's rough material can easily scratch this type of flatware.

Store your silverware in an area that is not humid or hot, like a cabinet or drawer in the kitchen. If you must store it in a cooler or humid area, such as an attic or a basement, wrap it in a sheet of cheesecloth to prevent contact with the airborne sulfur that can lead to tarnishing.


Do not use toothpaste on silver

Even though toothpaste can be an effective way to clean silver, it is not recommended if the piece you are cleaning has filigree details or corners that are tight. This is particularly true of sterling silver. You should consult a professional before using toothpaste on any delicate jewelry.

Brushing with Baking Soda

If you have baking soda, it's worth trying to use on your silver. This is a safe, non-toxic method for removing tarnish from silver, although it can be abrasive and take a bit of elbow grease to remove tough stains.

Clean with Lemon

Lemon is also an effective natural cleaner to remove tarnish. You can use a squeaky soft cloth to wipe the lemon onto tarnished surfaces. Then, rinse thoroughly.

If you have a piece of silver that is very delicate, such as a necklace, comb or bracelet, try to store it in a small compartment in a drawer in your home. This will make it easier for you to get to it when needed.

Pacific Silvercloth

You can wrap your fragile silver objects in fabric that inhibits the tarnishing of silver. 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.
