should be washed by hand.
Do not place silver next to or touching
stainless steel utensils in dishwasher silverware
basket. This can cause pitting of stainless steel
blades. (Most silver knives have stainless steel
blades. Do not let blades touch other stainless
steel utensils during wash cycle.)
Tarnish on silver plate occurs when worn
down to the base metal and turns a bronze color
when exposed to hot water and detergent.
Remove bronzing by soaking item in vinegar for
10 minutes or use a silver polish. For permanent
protection, have silver replated.
Silver tarnish can be caused by prolonged
contact with air or with foods containing sulphur
like eggs, mayonnaise, or seafood. Contact with
undissolved detergent can also cause tarnish. To
prevent this, rinse silver soon after use. Use care
not to pour detergent directly onto silver. Remove
tarnish with a silver polish.
Discoloration of stainless steel—Food
soil can create a film or discoloration. To avoid,
rinse stainless items promptly. Food soil films can
be removed with a stainless steel cleanser or mild
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
Pitting of stainless steel is caused by
prolonged contact with detergent granules and
foods like salt, mayonnaise, fruits, butter or milk.
To prevent, rinse soon after use. Do not allow
detergent to fall directly onto stainless steel items.
Discoloration of aluminum—Anodized
(colored) aluminum cannot withstand machine
washing. Resulting loss of color is permanent.
Other aluminum may darken when machine
washed. To decrease chance of discoloration, do
not place aluminum directly beneath detergent
dispenser. To brighten darkened items, scour with
soap filled steel wool pads. For severely darkened
pans, simmer an acidic food or a solution of 2
teaspoons (10 ml) cream of tartar per quart (1 L)
of water for 1/2 hour. Scour with soap filled steel
wool pad, rinse and dry.
Knife handles become loose when the
cement is exposed to very hot water. Test wash a
single knife for several weeks. Damaged knives
should be professionally re-cemented.
