Silver should only be stored on wood which is sealed with lacquer or polyurethane, which will also help keep silver tarnish-free. Specially treated cloth bags or anti-tarnish strips work well, too. When a cloth bag is not an option, you can provide further protection to silver and silver plated items by wrapping your prized pieces seperately in plastic cling wrap. USE white chalk. Add a single piece of white chalk to the drawer or cabinet where your silver is stored.
White chalk prevents tarnish.
KEEP silver free of tarnish causing agents, including wool, felt, eggs, onions, mustard, rubber, latex gloves, paints and humidity. Use two cups of vinegar for every tablespoon of salt. This can cause staining and corrosion. Remove from food items immediately and rinse well, until you are able to wash silver. Inc.
