Silver Care and Maintenance
At Art of Divine, we take pride in offering finely crafted silver idols that are meant to last. To ensure your silver idols retain their beauty and luster, proper care and maintenance are essential. Follow these tips to keep your silver in pristine condition for years to come.
1. Regular Cleaning
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean your silver idols after each use or periodically to remove dust and oils.
- For deeper cleaning, you can use a mild soap mixed with warm water. Gently rub the surface of the silver idol with a soft cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly. Dry completely with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.
2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
- Keep your silver idols away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, and hair sprays, as they can cause tarnishing.
- Avoid direct contact with rubber, latex, or sulfur-containing materials that can accelerate tarnishing.
3. Proper Storage
- Store your silver idols in a cool, dry place. To prevent tarnishing, place them in an airtight container or a jewelry box lined with anti-tarnish cloth.
- If possible, store each silver piece separately to avoid scratches or damage from contact with other items.
4. Polishing Silver
- Use a silver polishing cloth or a recommended silver polish to maintain the shine of your idols. Gently polish in straight lines rather than in circular motions to avoid scratches.
- Avoid over-polishing, as it can wear away the intricate details of your idol.
5. Avoid Excessive Moisture
- Keep your silver idols away from excessive humidity, water, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as these can cause tarnishing or discoloration.
6. Tarnish Removal
- If your silver idols begin to tarnish, use a non-abrasive silver cleaner to restore their shine. Alternatively, you can try a homemade solution by mixing baking soda with water to form a paste and gently rubbing it on the tarnished areas before rinsing and drying thoroughly.
7. Professional Cleaning
- For more intricate or heavily tarnished silver idols, consider professional cleaning services to ensure delicate detailing is preserved.
