Silver Plated Peacock Samai / Diya

Wash & Care Routine

German Silver (an alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel) is prized for its durability and silver-like sheen, but it requires specific care to prevent tarnishing and maintain its luster.

• 
  Routine Cleaning: After use, wipe away any residual oil or soot with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. This prevents buildup that can dull the finish.
  
• 
  Washing: If needed, wash gently with lukewarm water and a mild, PH-neutral liquid soap. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbers, as these can scratch the delicate engraving.
  
• 
  Drying is Key: Always dry the Samai immediately and thoroughly with a soft towel. Water spots left to air-dry can cause staining.
  
• 
  Polishing: To restore its original shine, use a specialized silver polishing cloth or a gentle metal polish cream once a month.
  
• 
  Storage: When not in display, store the piece in a dry place, preferably wrapped in soft tissue paper or a velvet pouch to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
  

Pro Tip: Avoid using lemon, tamarind, or abrasive cleaning powders, as the acid and grit can wear down the beautiful silver plating over time.
