Silver Care Guide – Holraj 999 Hallmark Silver

Your Holraj piece is crafted from BIS‑hallmarked 999 pure silver. Follow these simple steps to keep it beautiful, safe, and heirloom‑worthy.

Why 999 Silver is Special

• Purity: 99.9% silver. No nickel, copper, or other base metals.
• Skin‑friendly: Naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.
• Tarnish resistance: More resistant than 925 alloyed silver.
• Food‑safe: Ideal for utensils and serving pieces.

Care for Jewellery

1. Storage: Keep in an airtight pouch or box to reduce exposure to air and moisture.
2. Protection: Avoid perfumes, hairsprays, cosmetics, and household chemicals.
3. Daily clean: Wipe gently with a soft silver polishing cloth after wear.
4. When to remove: Take off during heavy activity to avoid scratches. 999 silver is softer than 925, which also gives it a richer lustre.

Care for Silver Utensils

1. Rinse soon after use: Especially after acidic foods like citrus or tomatoes.
2. Wash: Use mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh scrubbers; any scratches are purely aesthetic and do not affect the safety or purity of your 999 silver utensil.
3. Occasional deep clean: Soak in warm water with a pinch of baking soda, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
4. Dry & store: Dry fully and store in a dry place, wrapped in a soft cotton cloth.
5. Salt caution: Avoid prolonged contact with salt to prevent dullness.

What to Use

• Soft silver polishing cloth
• Mild dish soap
• Soft sponge or microfiber cloth
• Airtight pouches or anti‑tarnish zip bags

What to Avoid

• Harsh chemical cleaners not labeled safe for pure silver
• Abrasive pads or steel wool (can scratch)
• Ultrasonic cleaners unless specified for 999 silver
• Long exposure to humidity or salt

Troubleshooting

Light tarnish: Polish with a soft silver cloth.
Stubborn spots: Repeat gentle wash with mild soap, then polish.
Cloudy look after storage: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
