Whether your silver is inherited or new, it deserves to be worn a lot.
Here are our best usage and cleaning tips!
Use the cutlery often, then it will need less polishing.
If you choose to use your silver cutlery often and yes, preferably on a daily basis, you will get a lot of pleasure from it. With frequent use, the cutlery will last longer. The amazing thing is that silver cutlery that is used often needs much less polishing and care than if you use it rarely. Also remember that silver cutlery does not "wear out" with frequent use, and can therefore be enjoyed for generations.
Wash your silverware in the dishwasher
Contrary to what you may have heard before, washing silver cutlery in the dishwasher is very easy! Our experience is that Sun dishwashing powder works very well in combination with silver. Just make sure that the silver does not come into contact with steel.
Fast and efficient sanding
There are good sprays, creams, cloths, mitts, etc. that make polishing quick and effective. Find your favorite polishing product and polishing will be a breeze.
Shiny, shiny silver without polishing
Place aluminum foil in the bottom of the kitchen sink or a large bowl. Add hot water (enough to cover the cutlery) and add 3-6 tablespoons of salt and 3-6 tablespoons of baking soda per liter of water. When the salt and baking soda have dissolved, you can add the silver. The silverware must be touching the foil for it to work. How long the cutlery should be in the mixture and how much salt and baking soda is needed depends on how tarnished the silver is, so you have to experiment a bit to find the right mixture ratio. When the silver is shiny and bright, rinse it in running hot water and dry it.
Remember that cutlery that has been oxidized to bring out the pattern should not be polished in this way. Of our cutlery patterns, Dobbel Rococco and Elveseter are examples of designs that should be polished in the traditional way.
