Silver even reacts with the air around us so it will eventually tarnish<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1544893856004\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will Chalk Help To Keep My Silver Untarnished\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes will help to slow down the process of tarnishing. Chalk Does this by absorbing the moisture in the air. The less moisture in the air the less reaction on the silver surface. Place a few chalk sticks in the same drawer as your silver.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1544894011471\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will rubber damage my silver\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes rubber is very toxic to silver items. Never leave any silver near rubber gloves. If you have silver rings please take them off off if you wash the pots in rubber gloves.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1544894074742\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will handling silver cutlery tarnish them.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes the oils from our skin cause the silver to tarnish. Once they have been cleaned after use always rub with a lint free cloth before placing them back in storage.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1544894239704\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I place Silver in a bag to protect it\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes placing your items inside a plastic bag will help. How will it help ? well by preventing extra moisture getting into the bag. Ensure its a ziplock bag. \u00a0Add acid free tissue paper in the bag.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1544894425787\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will silica gel bags help protect my silver item<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes the little slice gel bag that seem to come in everything now do help. They help in the same way as chalk does. They absorb the moisture in the air thus slowing down the chemical reaction.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Clean Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghsilver.co\/blog\/what-is-a-quaich-and-what-are-they-used-for\/\">Quaich <\/a>or your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghsilver.co\/antique-silver-trophies\/\">Antique Silver Trophy<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Recent Restored Items. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghsilver.co\/blog\/restoring-antique-and-vintage-christening-spoons-to-near-new-condition\/\">Restored Silver Christening Spoon<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghsilver.co\/blog\/restoring-antique-and-vintage-napkin-rings-to-near-new-condition\/\">Restored Silver Napkin Rings <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Clean Your Silver &nbsp; Cleaning silver, it seems like a delicate tedious task but it doesn&#8217;t have to be.
