Silver, considered to be a precious, gentle metal, symbolizes eternity, purity, and tradition that is passed on from generation to generation. To preserve its brilliance and beauty, it must be cared for accordingly.

For you to fully enjoy the magnificence of your piece of art for many years to come, we have provided you with important cleaning and care instructions. Please follow these carefully.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

  • Do not clean silver products with harsh cloths or any other materials that may scratch the product.
  • Do not apply force when cleaning. Pay particularly close attention to products such as menorahs or candleholders.
  • To preserve the gold plating on relevant products, do not clean the gold-plated areas with silver cleaning agents. These areas should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth only.
  • Do not expose silver products to any sources of heat or cold.
  • Wax can be removed from silver with hot water.

ROUTINE CLEANING TO MAINTAIN SHINE

Gently polish silver products every two weeks, using a soft dry cloth. This polishing prevents tarnishing and maintains a clean, shiny appearance.

CLEANING AFTER USE

Rinse the product right after use, especially if it has come in contact with vinegar, lemon, wine, or salt. After rinsing, wipe with a soft dry cloth. 

DEEP CLEANING

We recommend using HAGERTY cleaning agents according to the instructions that appear on the cleaning products.

TABLEWARE AND HOME DESIGN PRODUCTS

Clean promptly after use with mild soap, water, and a soft brush or cloth. Mainly, swiftly remove food residues with high acidity (e.g., citrus fruits, mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar sauces).

For candlestick wax removal, wash with warm water and dry using a soft, dry cloth.

Please avoid using a dishwasher for silver-coated silverware or dishes.

CUTLERY

Clean immediately after use with mild soap, water, and a soft brush or cloth. Swiftly remove food residues with high acidity, such as citrus fruits, mayonnaise, ketchup, or vinegar sauces.

Do not leave cutlery dirty, wet, or soaked in water.

Ensure cutlery is dried promptly after washing.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTAINING THE LACQUER LAYER MARKED WITH THE STAMP HSP OR LACQUERED 

- Candle holders must be used with glass or aluminum containers/liners to prevent wax or oil from leaking onto the items. Such leakage damages the lacquer layer.

- Removing wax with a knife or hot water will irreversibly damage the lacquer layer.

- A deep scratch, for whatever reason, penetrates the lacquer layer and directly damages the item.

It is absolutely forbidden to put the item in a dishwasher.

- The item must be cleaned only with a dry cloth.

- Lighting a fire under a silver vessel, for example, lighting small candlesticks beneath a candelabra, damages the lacquer layer.
