Silver is treasured for both worship and adornment — but it needs a little care to stay bright. Here is how to keep your Gold Palace silver looking its best.
Why silver tarnishes
Silver reacts with moisture and sulphur in the air, forming a dull layer over time. This is normal and reversible — it is not damage.
Cleaning
- Wipe pieces with a soft, dry cotton cloth after use.
- For light tarnish, use a dedicated silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaner.
- For deepams, panchapatras and pooja plates, wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly — never leave silver wet.
- Avoid harsh abrasives and toothpaste, which can scratch fine detailing.
Storage
- Store silver in a dry place, ideally in anti-tarnish pouches or wrapped in soft cotton.
- Keep pieces separate so they do not scratch each other.
- A small silica-gel sachet in your storage box helps absorb moisture.
Everyday tips
Put on silver jewellery after perfume and cosmetics, and remove it before swimming or bathing. With simple care, silver idols, pooja articles and jewellery stay beautiful for generations. Explore our silver collections at goldpalace.co.in or visit our Nellore showroom.
