"I have a silver tray that was covered in plastic wrap a long time ago. Now I can&amp;#039;t remove the wrap completely -- some residue resists all my efforts. Any hints?  --Kelcey Klass, Silver Spring, Md. Storing silver in plastic wrap was popular years ago, but it was never a good idea because plastic contains sulfur and traps moisture, both of which encourage tarnishing. In warm temperatures, the plastic can stick to the metal. Silver experts I talked with say that if this happens, it&amp;#039;s best to take the piece to a professional refinisher. To protect and preserve silver, proper care and storage are key. Wash pieces in warm, soapy water after each use. Be especially thorough if they held any foods that contained sulfides, such as eggs, salt, mustards, salad dressings, or tomatoes. Dry completely, then place the silver in a wooden chest with a protective lining, roll in a flannel flatware case, or wrap in an antitarnish bag or cloth. Do not use newspaper, plastic, or rubber bands, which can cause damage. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
