how to clean silver

Methods of cleaning silver should be determined by the valued placed on it--monetary or sentimental & the design of the pattern. Silver w/ deeply "carved" patterns that are enhanced by an oxide or French gray finish should be hand polished w/ a high quality silver cream or polish.

Hand rubbing develops patina on silver which adds to its beauty.

Ornamental silver pieces that have been lacquered may be washed in lukewarm water; hot water could remove the lacquer.
