Silver Flatware-Care
Silver is easily scratched so never use harsh
abrasives. It is corroded or tarnished by salt and salt
air, sulfur and sulfur-containing foods, and rubber.
Frequent use deters formation of tarnish
Do not let silver stand with food on it; salty or
acid foods can stain it. Rinse if it will not be washed
at once.
Store silverware in a chest lined with tarnish-
resistant flannel or air-tight plastic bag when not in
use. Do not put rubber bands on silver as they cause
tarnish.
Handle silver with care to avoid nicks and heavy
scratches; knife blades and other metals can do damage
if they come in contact with silverware.
