Silver that is regularly used typically needs less care. To clean your silver, rub gently with a soft polishing cloth to enhance the luster. Sterling silver oxidizes over time, especially when exposed to salt, chlorinated water, perfumes, lotions or harsh chemicals.
It is best to remove your sterling silver jewelry when showering or swimming. Water can cause the silver to oxidize or tarnish, which will darken the color and dull the shine. If this happens, don't worry- you can restore the shine with a gentle rub of a polishing cloth.
