All ETSterling jewelry comes packaged with a piece of 3M anti-tarnish paper (gray paper square). If you store your silver jewelry in the zip-lock bag, this will slow the tarnishing process. The 3-M strip is only supposed to last about 6 months. The yellow cloth is Sunshine cloth. It is great for a quick polish. For a good polishing, use a good silver polish like 3M Silver Polish with Tarnishguard. Follow the directions and use an old toothbrush when you rinse to get the polish out of letters or other small places.

Watch out for Chlorine bleaches. It will make spots on Silver. You can get it off, but it might take a couple of polishes. Also watch out for sulfur based products. I can use my polishing equipment to get it off. I would be glad to polish yours if you have one of these problems.
