In this article, we will show you the best ways to clean and perfectly maintain your cutlery – and why choosing the right cleaner is crucial.

Why does Silver tarnish?

Silver naturally reacts with the sulphur compounds in the air, which leads to the formation of silver sulphide – the well-known black covering that we know as a start-up. This is a completely normal process, but the silver does not damage as long as it is properly cleaned. And this is where high-quality silver cleaners come in.

2. Home remedies – An option, but not always ideal

There are numerous home remedies such as baking powder and aluminum foil, which are often recommended for cleaning silver. Although these solutions can remove the start-up at short notice, they do not offer long-term protection and are often cumbersome in use.

Why a professional cleaner is better:

Although home remedies can be an alternative, they are neither as effective nor as gentle as specially developed silver cleaners. While home remedies often only look superficial, our cleaners penetrate deep into the silver and remove even stubborn contact points. At the same time, they maintain the material and protect it from restarting.

3. Polishing with silver cleaning cloths – ideal for daily shine

For quick care in between we recommend our silver cleaning cloths. These are soaked with a special cleaning solution that gently removes the start and polishes the silver at the same time.

Application :

  1. Rub the cutlery with the cloth to remove the inrun.
  2. Use a dry cloth to polish.
