Silver Jewellery Care

Yes, Town Talk's silver cleaners are safe for use on silver-plated items. However, take extra care with heavily worn pieces where the base metal may be exposed. A silver polishing cloth is the safest option for delicate silver plate.

A silver dip is ideal for charm bracelets and chains because the liquid reaches all the small details that a cloth cannot. Dip the bracelet for a few minutes, use the brush to loosen any trapped dirt, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Read the full guide for cleaning charm bracelets here .

Store silver in anti-tarnish storage bags , rolls or pouches to slow the formation of tarnish. Anti-tarnish strips placed in jewellery boxes and cutlery canteens also help by absorbing the atmospheric pollutants that cause blackening. Keep silver away from rubber bands, newspaper and damp conditions.

It depends on how frequently you use it. Silver jewellery worn daily benefits from a quick polish every couple of weeks, while silverware kept in storage may only need cleaning a few times a year. Regular use actually helps prevent tarnish, so don't be afraid to use your best silver.

Keep silver jewellery in anti-tarnish pouches & avoid storing pieces loose in drawers where they can scratch and tarnish. Anti-tarnish strips placed inside your jewellery box will absorb pollutants and keep silver shining for longer between cleans.
