Nothing short of Amazing.....

Ok, I am totally amazed by this recent discovery! I wish I could remember what Blog I found this on so that I could give credit where credit is due, but for the life of me I cannot find it again. So upfront to all of you, I am not taking credit for this timesaving tip, but I am passing it along to all of you so that you too can be amazed!!!! As you are aware I have been collecting silver trays, candlesticks, silverware etc... for the wedding and I have spent several hours polishing said silver, not to mention the $$ spent on silver polish. So when I found this little time saving tip I thought to myself this is toooooooo good to be true! So I tried it..... please take note of the condition of the small silver tray (shown at right) before this process... note the tarnish (which by the way has just collected since the Holidays!).

The Blog instructed you to wrap the silver piece in aluminum foil and place the wrapped piece in boiling water for a few minutes. If the piece is larger (like a tray or candelabra) wrap the piece, place in a sink or large basin and slowly pour the boiling water over the piece and allow to sit in the hot water for several minutes. What happens next is nothing short of a miracle!!! The foil attracts the tarnish (yep, your reading that right) and removes it from the silver piece! IT WORKED LIKE A FRICKIN' CHAMP!!! Now being the impatient person that I am, I didn't leave the piece in the boiling water for very long say 2-3 minutes but the next photo will prove to you that this process works..... please see photo #2

Can you believe this??? After countless hours of polishing .... a piece of foil and boiling water does the trick beautifully!!!

I certainly hope that this "Delightful Dash of Information from Diane" saves you time and not to mention manicures... it has for me!

It's a great day, great day!!!
