How to Keep Silver from Tarnishing?

If you prefer the traditionally shared methods for how to keep silver from tarnishing, we’ll share those too. Just know that these are only somewhat effective and have some disadvantages.

​

Important Note: If you keep using methods that do not fully stop your silver or silver-plated possessions from tarnishing you will be polishing your silver over and over. You can eventually polish right through layers of your silver or literally polish off all of the silver plating.

​

Airtight Storage: 

Traditionalists have often resorted to storing silver in airtight containers to shield it from the detrimental effects of air and moisture. While this method does provide a certain level of protection, it comes at the cost of not being able to admire your silver on a regular basis.

 

Anti-Tarnish Cloths: 

Anti-tarnish cloths or strips have been a go-to for many silver enthusiasts. These cloths are designed to absorb and neutralize tarnish-inducing compounds, offering a protective layer. However, the inconvenience arises when you must constantly wrap and unwrap your silver for use.

 

Chalk: 

Chalk has long been used as a desiccant to absorb moisture and prevent tarnish. While it can be effective to absorb moisture, it lacks precision in targeting specific areas and may not provide comprehensive protection. Just removing moisture does not stop the tarnish.

​

These traditional methods involve hiding your silver away in airtight containers or spending hours polishing it to restore its luster.   But what if there was a better way?
