Silverware (Continued)
 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.
