How to Protect Your Silver From Scuff
If you are a silver lover like me there are a few basic tips you should know in order to protect your valuable pieces such as silver rings or bracelets from wear and tear. Silver is fragile metal, which can quickly develop tarnish, stains or scratches and therefore silver needs a bit more TLC than some other metals. Here’s how to protect your silver from scuff:
- When cleaning your silver, always use the softest cleaning utensils such as soft-bristled toothbrush or soft cotton cloth.
- Silver and chemicals interact. If you want to keep your silver shiny, remove your silver jewelry before any task that involves chemicals. This includes among other things washing dishes or clothes, swimming, gardening, coloring your hair and car maintenance.
- Always remember that jewelry goes on last and comes off first. For example, hairspray or perfume may react with your silver jewelry, so it is always good to put on jewelry after you have applied makeup, perfume and hairspray. By contrast, remember to remove your jewelry before removing your makeup.
