Cleaning, brushing and keeping silverware

Proper cleaning of silverware

 

Silver is a noble metal with a natural luster.

The silver metal oxidizes from the air and if time the vessel turns yellow and then blackens.

* It should be noted that the silver metal will always return to being shiny. No matter how long you did not polish it.

In order to keep the tool clean, it must first be kept / stored correctly - one that will reduce the tool's contact with air - for example, a closed glass display case.

Make sure that the tool is not in the open air in the kitchen or in front of an air conditioner, which increases the oxidation of the material and accelerates the yellowing process.
