Home Improvement - TARNISH - CARING FOR SILVER

Caring for Silver
Rubber severely affects silver. Rubber corrodes
silver, and it can become so deeply etched that only a
silversmith can repair the damage. Raised designs can be
lost permanently. Avoid using storage cabinets or chests
with rubber seals, rubber floor coverings, rubber bands,
etc.

Other enemies of silver include table salt, olives,
salad dressing, eggs, vinegar and fruit juices. Serve
these foods in china or glass containers. Although
flowers and fruit look lovely in silver containers, the
acid produced as they decay can etch the containers and
cause serious damage. When using silver containers, use
plastic or glass liners.
