When it comes to homework I always tell my kids to tackle the most unpleasant or time consuming assignments first and get them out of the way. I use that philosophy when I'm prepping for a houseful of guests too. Today's job-polishing the silver for Thanksgiving dinner.
If polishing the silver is not on your list of favorite ways to amuse yourself I'd suggest my favorite product for getting the job done in short order, Wright's Silver Cream. I've been using this for years and it makes shining up your fancy schmancy pieces so easy. Wipe on with the sponge provided and wipe off with a soft cloth to make your trays and platters shine so brightly you can hold them up to check your hair and make-up. A container of this polish costs under $5. I buy mine at a local grocery store but it's also available nationwide at Wal-mart stores.
Have you started your Thanksgiving preparations?
I need to take your advice. I'm procrastinating right now by reading new blogs. Come by and say hello!

I love silver but not cleaning it. I have a few pieces that are in need of some cleaning! However, I am a procrastinator by nature!
ReplyDeleteI keep the silver I don't display in the silver keeper bags with a 3m anti tarnish strip in them. Doesn't stop the tarnish 100 %, but they help a great deal. If I haven't used the silver in a couple of years, there's usually a little tarnish on it and I use the Wrights polish, which makes polishing a breeze!
ReplyDeletePolishing the silver for holiday dinner was always my job - I hated the smell of whatever it was my mom used to make me use for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my Wrights too and few things give me satisfaction (when it comes to cleaning that it) that gleaming polished silver does!! Fabulous.....
ReplyDeleteSeeing Wright's Silver Polish in your post made me smile because Chris and I were married at the Wright family mansion in NH. So of course, it is my go-to silver polish :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately thanksgiving isn't celebrated here in Switzerland, and though I am a California gal at heart I am not really American, so I don't feel I have the right to celebrate now that I am back in Europe :-(
ReplyDeleteThat means that I live vicariously through my American friends, so please post a detail account of your thanksgiving, with photos ;-)
Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for this. I so need polish for my tarnished silver!
ReplyDeleteWow!! You are really on the ball I need to be more like YOU!
