Silverware
Common Problems: General Food Mess, Soap Residue
How to Clean: When hand washing, protect items with a rubber basin.
Remove and discard any loose debris. Wash with a Dish Brush, Dish Detergent and hot water; then rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Drying with a cloth will prevent water marks.
Never place Silver cutlery in the dishwasher with Stainless Steel and/or other metals--it will tarnish immediately. Avoid long term exposure to acidic liquids.
Due to environmental concerns, the EPA has required that detergent manufacturers remove phosphorous, the key ingredient, from their formulations. These grocery brand detergents do not incorporate the expensive, environmental enzymes needed to clean thoroughly--as a result residue and spotting is left behind.
