Store sterling silver flatware in a silver chest that is lined with an
anti-tarnish material. Most of the silver chest on our site are lined with
tarnish preventive material.
Sterling silver is dishwasher safe, however, hand washing and drying is
recommended. If you use the dishwasher for cleaning, use a mild
detergent, do not mix sterling with stainless or silverplate in the same
wash and remove flatware before the dry cycle or turn off the drying
cycle. Use a soft cloth to dry each piece thoroughly. Do not use lemon
scented detergents. Make sure each piece is completely dry before
putting it away in the storage chest.
After using sterling flatware, rinse as soon as possible. Do not let it
soak for long periods of time in water. Be diligent in rinsing items as
soon as possible that may have come in contact with some foods such as
eggs, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, etc.
If your sterling is used on a regular basis, and stored in a silver
chest, it will rarely need polishing. Sterling silver flatware will
tarnish and need occasional polishing with a silver cream such as
Gorham's Silver Polish.
