Reducing Tarnish

I love using my good sliver flatware for special occasions but simply detest cleaning it. Do you know any way to keep the tarnish to a minimum?

Experts suggest adding a piece of chalk to your silver storage area. Chalk helps absorb moisture which causes silver to tarnish. Storing pieces in an air tight bag can also keep the tarnish down. Remember to never store your silver in cardboard because it encourages tarnish and newspaper can react with silver and lead to tarnish. Simply wrapping it in tissue paper is much better than leaving it in a drawer exposed to open air.
