Sterling Silver Caring Tips

Sterling Silver Caring Tips
✨ Increase the shine of your Jewelery
🧼 1. Regular Cleaning
  • Use a soft polishing cloth or a jewellery-specific silver cloth.
  • Avoid tissue paper or paper towels — they can scratch the silver.
💧 2. Avoid Moisture
  • Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.
  • Store in a dry, cool place — humidity accelerates tarnishing.
🧴 3. Minimize Exposure to Chemicals
  • Avoid perfumes, lotions, sanitizers, hairspray, and cleaning products.
  • Apply cosmetics first and let them dry before wearing jewellery.
📦 4. Proper Storage
  • Store each piece individually in anti-tarnish pouches or soft cloth bags.
  • Add silica gel packets to your jewellery box to reduce moisture.
🧽 5. Deep Cleaning (When Needed)
  • Mix mild dish soap with warm water.
  • Soak for a few minutes, then gently clean with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry using a microfiber cloth.
🚫 Don’ts
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or toothpaste.
  • Do not store silver in plastic bags.
  • Do not wear silver while using bleach or harsh chemicals.
🌙 6. Wear It Often

Wearing your silver helps prevent tarnish — natural skin oils keep it polished.

🧪 7. DIY Baking Soda Paste
  • Mix 2 parts baking soda with 1 part water.
  • Rub gently onto silver with fingers or a soft cloth.
  • Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Note: Avoid using this method on oxidized or antique-finish jewellery.

☁️ 8. Use Anti-Tarnish Strips

Store silver with anti-tarnish strips that absorb tarnish-causing gases.

🧊 9. Store with Chalk or Activated Charcoal

Both naturally absorb moisture and sulfur compounds that accelerate tarnish.

🧤 10. Use Cotton Gloves

When polishing or organizing your jewellery, use clean cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and moisture.

🧺 11. Avoid Ultrasonic Cleaners (for Delicate Pieces)

Avoid ultrasonic cleaning for pieces containing pearls, soft stones, or glued settings.

🧊 12. Never Use Rubber Bands

Rubber contains sulfur, which can corrode silver and leave permanent marks.
