Regularly polish with a soft cloth to remove tarnish.

Store in a dry, airtight container to prevent oxidation.

Avoid exposure to chemicals (such as those found in hot tubs, pool, some perfumes etc)

How to remove heavy tarnish from 925 sterling silver

Using this cleaning method the tarnish disappears due to an electrolytic reaction which transfers the oxidized tarnish from the silver to the aluminum foil.

- Line a large glass or metal baking dish with aluminum foil, shiny side facing up.
- Place the tarnished silver items onto the foil-lined tray.
- Pour boiling hot water into the tray, completely covering the silver items.
- Add two heaping tablespoons of baking soda to the water For best results sprinkle the baking soda evenly across the pan.
- Let the silver items soak in the baking soda and water for 30 minutes.
- Remove the silver pieces from the tray and rinse well and pat dry
