Silver leg kadas are elegant, timeless, and culturally significant accessories. However, silver tends to tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and daily wear. Proper maintenance and cleaning can help keep your silver leg kada looking as good as new. At SilverAdda, we bring you a complete guide on how to care for your silver leg kada effortlessly.
1. Why Does Silver Tarnish?
Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air, leading to a darkened or dull appearance known as tarnish. Factors like sweat, perfumes, chemicals, and humidity can accelerate the tarnishing process.
2. Daily Maintenance Tips
- Wipe your silver leg kada with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to remove dirt and oils.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and household cleaning agents.
- Remove your kada before swimming or showering to prevent exposure to chlorine and saltwater.
3. Best Ways to Clean Your Silver Leg Kada
a) Using Baking Soda & Water
- Make a paste using baking soda and water.
- Gently rub it on your kada with a soft cloth.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a clean towel.
b) Lemon & Salt Solution
- Mix fresh lemon juice and salt in warm water.
- Soak your silver leg kada for 5-10 minutes.
- Scrub lightly and rinse thoroughly.
c) Vinegar & Baking Soda Method
- Mix half a cup of white vinegar with two tablespoons of baking soda.
- Soak your kada for about 2-3 hours.
- Rinse and dry properly to restore its shine.
4. Storing Your Silver Kada Properly
- Keep your kada in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch.
- Store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
- Add silica gel packets or chalk pieces to absorb moisture and slow down tarnishing.
