Can silver be washed in a dishwasher

Washing precious metal appliances in a dishwasher is highly undesirable. Yes, PMM is quick and convenient, but it’s not worth the risk, otherwise elegant table silver will take the form of aged and cheap aluminum. Decorative elements on dishes - mobile, painting, gilding, will especially suffer.

Silver requires regular maintenance: devices need to be washed, cleaned and protected from adverse effects. Otherwise, the metal is exposed to oxidation.

Only in extreme cases, send your silver to the dishwasher, use gentle detergents. Also, do not wash silver and other metals at the same time.

How to care for silver dishes

To care for silverware, you will need both folk remedies and special products: polishes, rags, sprays.

What is included in the care procedures:

1. From cheap home remedies - brushing with toothpaste (without granules, etc.) or toothpowder with water.
2. Rinse or soak with ammonia and water (1:10). Keep the dishes in the solution for about half an hour.
3. Soda solution: per 1 liter of water - 4 tsp. First cover the deep container with foil, then boil the soda solution, fill it in foil and place silver objects next. After 15 minutes, carefully remove them, allow to cool, rinse in clean water and wipe dry.
4. Cleaning is carried out only with soft tissues, no abrasives!
5. Do not mix two or more detergents to prevent an unexpected chemical reaction.

Keep metal wrapped in cotton cloth - even air can adversely affect its condition. Each device has its own separate packaging.

Soft noble metal will decorate your dining table, but you will have to try hard to preserve valuable appliances. Treat your forks and spoons as jewels.
