Is sterling dishwasher safe? What is the best way to clean?
Sterling Silver requires minimal care. Wash promptly after each use in hot sudsy water and rinse with hot water. Dry with soft towel and put away when cool. If you use an automatic dishwasher, remove your Sterling Silver after the wash cycle and dry it with a towel to avoid unsightly “detergent spots.” Check your dishwasher operating manual; if it has an anti-spotting injector, you can leave your Sterling Silver inside during the drying cycle. But avoid the prolonged soaking generally experienced with “rinse and hold” or equivalent cycles. Knives, along with any other hollow-handled pieces should never be cleaned in a dishwasher. Hand wash only.
