Out on a laymans limb here..seeing vaugely?
 making CS involves adding electrical energy to the electrolyte [charged
ions in even more highly charged ions or lots of spare electrons going all
over the place?] and if NaCl in ionic form is present, the electricity
could strip whatever bonds the salt has and re associated some of the
chlorine ions with the silver ions.  I would presume that the sodium ions
left over would associate with water molecules to make sodium hydroxide.
 But without electrical current flowing, silver is very stable and non
reactive so salts will not change it.
