    I’ve spent much of my afternoon cleaning silver. Two cutlery sets, silver coasters, silver place mats, a sugar bowl and a beautiful silver-inlaid glass vase.

    The forks are so clean, my hands so dirty.

    Considering I’m wearing a WHITE SHIRT, I don’t look too disreputable

      Ugh my mother used to make me do it. Cleaning the silver was one of my many childhood jobs. To this day I avoid anything silver. You did well to sit there and do it all.

        It’s weird, but I actually quite like it?

        It’s a bit magical seeing the gleam come through the black

          For donated items, I think I’d use the tinfoil & baking soda method. Then a quick rub with a microfibre cloth. Takes a lot of the elbow grease out of it.
