The surface of our silver plated table cutlery has become stained with black/brown/blue discolouration, what is it and what can we do about it?
This is the normal tarnishing of silver, it is usually the discolouration associated with silver sulphide, which has been formed by the reaction of the silver with sulphur in the atmosphere or in food such as eggs and green leaf type vegetables. Unfortunately this phenomenon is a fact of life where silver is concerned and the only solution is to clean the items regularly. See CATRA Care of Cutlery leaflet.
