<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 41276, member: 25&quot;]We do not have much silver plate as it&#039;s usually goes to the shed, but I have never given a second thought to putting the SP we do have in with everything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Discolouration or pitting seem to me to be most likely due to electrochemical&nbsp; effects. It&#039;s an outlandish chance but I wonder if it is possible for badly earthed appliances to be leaking small currents to ground through the washing water? Your US 120V systems mean badly earthed items kill far fewer people with only half the voltage we use here so possibly less attention is paid to thorough earthing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a suggestion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Our day to day cutlery drawer is a hotch-potch of anything that came along that was not solid silver, so silverplate and stainless are mixed, used and washed together all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
