NEVER place silver in the dishwasher, especially alongside stainless steel. Your silver may turn gray, white or non-reflective.
Never use abrasive polishes, such as baking soda or toothpaste.
Never use aluminum foil to do a “magic polish” your silver will tarnish more quickly and over time may become permanently discolored and pitted.
Never use spray polish or chemical dips. They are hazardous to both you and your silver.
Never use an all purpose metal cleaner or polish.
