But I’m certain if it’s proper silver plate that wouldn’t happen.
Also I’m sure vinegar or lemon juice would be effective but not as long lasting as silver dip which is designed to keep it tarnish free for a time.

There is "silver cloth" which when rubbed on silver cleans it and will prevent or delay tarnish isn't there? I seem to remember it from years ago, also an equivalent for brass etc,
