Does sterling silver require special care for cleaning?

Clean your silver jewelry with mild soap and water. Allow the water to bead up, and then pat dry with a soft cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a jewelry cleaner designed for silver use. Store silver jewelry in a cool, dry place – preferably in a tarnish-preventive bag or wrapped in a soft piece of felt or cloth. Make sure your silver is not exposed to air and light during storage: this can cause silver to tarnish. Do not rub silver with anything other than a polishing cloth or a fine piece of felt.
