Silver Plate [EPNS] and Sterling Silver
Hand Washing
DO
Rinse, wash and dry after use-prolonged contact with acids found in food residue and mineral salts in water can attack the metal and cause pitting or staining. Take extra care with knives, the carbon content reduces the stainless resistance of the blade. Polish away any stains with a reputable silver polish. Wash silver cutlery seperately from stainless steel. Chemical reaction may cause discolouration. Clean with silver cloth as sulphides in food, such as eggs cause tarnish. Use a reputable silver dip or polish where necessary if heavy tarnishing occurs. Store in an air-tight container or Hiram Wild's anti tarnish rolls or canteens.
DO NOT
Leave soaking in water or damp after washing. Use abrasive pads or harsh cleaning agents which will scratch the surface, be concerned when small scratches appear. Silver is a soft metal and marks easily but gradually gains a fine, whitish patina.
