How do I clean a silver overlay on glass?

Cleaning a silver overlay on glass or any object can be very difficult as the overlay is a very thin layer of silver that can be worn off over time. Most overlays are covered with a lacquer to protect the finish, but that also can be worn off. The best way to clean a silver overlay is with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
