Silver Cleaning Tips:
Always wash your silver by hand. If there is no tarnish on your silver, simply use a phosphate-free detergent to clean it. Washing and drying your silver immediately after using it will keep you from having to use tarnish removing tools less often. Be careful when washing in a metal sink as it could scratch your silver.
In the early stages of tarnish, your silver will have a yellowish tint. The darker in color this gets, the harder to remove. If left untouched, it will eventually turn black.
You can find most silver cleaning products at your local hardware store. Many of these cleaners have abrasives in them. One that we highly recommend is 3M's Tarni-Shield Silver Polish as this has the least amount of abrasives and also contains a tarnish barrier to protect your silver from tarnishing.
Do not use polishes that have become hard or dried up. Dried up polishes are more concentrated and can hurt your silver.

It seems only natural that as the cost of living has gone up, so does the cost of everything you do in life, even getting married. Tying the knot is now said to be 100% more expensive than it was in 1990. Surprisingly, inflation is not the only cause.

In the last two weeks, two non-senior US officials indirectly called on Israel to start planning on cancelling its nuclear weapons programs. Even though they said this is not intended for ‘the foreseeable future’, their publicly terming Israel a nuclear power on a par with India and Pakistan might be a sign that the US perceives of nuclear issues as too serious to condone the double standards it employs

Never, never put silver in the dishwasher! There are several reasons for this. The most important being that the harsh detergent and hot water will simply ruin your silver. Patina that is sometimes applied to silver to give an antiqued finish will eventually come off in the dishwasher leaving your silver dull looking. The glue that is used on hollow knife handles will also melt at such high water temperatures. Silver that touches stainless in the dishwasher can also create a chemical reaction causing the silver to get black spots.
Silver Storage:
Your silver should be stored in an area that is free of dust.
You can delay the tarnishing process by using silica gel. These can be purchased in packets and will help to keep the humidity low, or you can purchase what is called a silica gel canister. These canisters have a built in indicator that lets you know moisture levels.

And a third option would be to wrap your silver in a special cloth that absorbs sulfur. Pacific Silvercloth is one brand that can be used.
