How to clean your silver tableware
Instructions
For most items, firstly, wash in a solution of warm water containing the usual small amount of washing up liquid in order to remove food and wine residues then dry using a clean soft cotton cloth.
Items such as photo frames, pepper mills, candlesticks with baize bases should not be immersed but wiped with a soft damp cloth in the same above mentioned solution and dried.
It is possible to buff-up/polish the item four or five times at monthly intervals using just a soft cloth or cotton wool, provided the tarnish is light.
After this period a proprietary silver polish will be necessary, J.A.Campbell have used ‘Silvo’ by Rickett and Colman for 50 years and believe it to be the best.
Finally remove the light white powdery residue with a clean soft cloth.
In September 2007 J.A.Campbell will begin production (of decanter tops at first) using a tarnish resistant sterling silver. This decreases polish frequency five-fold.
