I know most people don't have a desire to polish silver. I have scooped up so many pieces at estate sales and thrift shop for this very reason. I like to polish silver. I know it's quirky, but I do. Whether I am setting up a display at home, or using the silver pieces to set a buffet table, I think it shows well.
As I was getting ready for a party, I pulled out the silver polish. Most of the pieces that I needed to clean had intricate edges. I always keep an old electric toothbrush, that still works, in my laundry room to use for stains. Applying Oxyclean to a spot that needs to be treated and then using the toothbrush before I put it in the washer loosens up the stain.
So back to the silver polishing. I pulled the electric toothbrush out again and dipped it into the polishing cream. Then, I turned it on and let it do the work on the engraved edging. Why hadn't I thought of that before? I might add that it is gentle on the silver plate surface. I just wanted to share this tip with you. It's a good thing!
