How to prevent cutlery from becoming tarnished
Always handle your fine cutlery very carefully to ensure it remains a sparkling addition to your table setting. Cleaning and caring for your cutlery properly is the best way to prevent stains and deposits forming in the first place. Correct storage is important too. Store silver cutlery in a dry and airtight place to prevent dark stains. Wrap it carefully in a cotton cloth, multiple layers of napkin, aluminium foil or cling film. Read on to find out how to get your cutlery to shine and prevent unsightly stains:
Always rinse cutlery in clean water after cooking and after every use. This will remove the larger remnants of food before it goes into the dishwasher.
To stop your cutlery becoming tarnished, always use a suitable dishwasher detergent and ensure no corrosive salt enters the dishwasher cycle.
Tip:
Leave space between cutlery in the dishwasher rather than packing the items too tightly, so that the cutlery is rinsed more thoroughly.
