Cleaning Silver ...by using Wiping Rags
Cleaning Silver
Methods of cleaning silver should be determined by the valued placed on it--monetary or sentimental--and the design of the pattern. Silver with deeply "carved" patterns that are enhanced by an oxide or French gray finish should be hand polished with a high quality silver cream or polish and cotton rags.
Hand rubbing develops patina on silver which adds to its beauty.
Ornamental silver pieces that have been lacquered may be washed in lukewarm water; hotwater could remove the lacquer.
