Anti-tarnish strips at the hardware store
Posted by Leah on May 19, 2006
Another hardware store find - anti-tarnish strips. These are little strips of paper that have some kind of chemicals on them that help prevent silver from tarnishing. Storing silver jewelry with one of these in the container, and it should prevent or slow tarnishing for about six months.
There is also a thing called anti-tarnish cloth, sometimes called pacific cloth (no clue why) that also helps prevent tarnish. Sometimes Joanne’s fabrics has this by the yard - it would make a great lining material for jewelry boxes, or even little pouches for storing silver.
