At the earliest, silver tableware was popular in Chinese courts. Because sterling silver tableware has played a wonderful anti-virus and bactericidal role in diet, some royal families and famous families also use sterling silver tableware as a tableware, which further embodies the elegance and rich taste.

When cleaning silverware, wash it with warm water and a small amount of detergent. All silver tableware cannot be rinsed with chemicals such as bleach and strong acid washing powder. The collection and preservation of silver tableware is as important as its cleaning. They shouldn't be piled together. After drying, it should be placed in a room without smoke and sulfur-containing air and away from heat sources. Finally, use some packing boxes to store them separately to avoid touching hard objects and preventing surface wear. If you are afraid of dirt on silver tableware, you can dry clean it with sponge or cotton cloth dipped in high gloss agent, and then polish it with clean and soft towel or absorbent cotton.

Hydrogen sulfide in the air can easily make silver tableware black, so it should be sorted after washing. Soak in chlorine-free dilute alkaline water above 40℃ for 10 to 15 minutes, then take it out and rinse it thoroughly. For the spots on the knife, first wipe them with a cloth soaked in vinegar, then rinse them and dry them. You can also wipe the blade with half-cut onion dipped in pure sugar, then rinse it and dry it.

If there are black spots on silver tableware, you can also use aluminum boxes or aluminum sheets to soak them in salt water or soda water at 78℃ for 3 minutes to remove them. If it is an automatic dishwasher, you can control the time and circulating water pump to make the temperature of salt water rise and fall. This method of electric blackening is only effective if the silver tableware does not stick to grease.
