    Beautiful. It was my job when I was a child to clean all the Silver in the house. That's when you used actual silverware. I didn't like to do it, but I did a good job. I felt great when it sparkled. I bet you felt a great sense of accomplishment when finished. We used Wright's silver cream.

    Wright polish is by far the best in my opinion. It has a brighter shine.i cleaned a salt & pepper and my daughter cleaned one with tarn x and it was duller. So i have 2 different ones now. Live and learn.
    I love your creative videos during this quarantine time.

    Wrights all the way. No contest. Been used for generations on the family sterling. Also makes plate look great. Use it on my bronze candlesticks as well. Can’t say enough about Wrights.

      The products Robin recommend will absolutely damage silver, ESPECIALLY silverplate!. I'm a professional silver conservator.

    Oh wow! Amazing results. I actually bought some tarn-x a while back and haven't used it yet. Now I must give it a try! There is something very satisfying in polishing siver I think. Thanks for the demo!

    Judging by the end result of all three pieces together, it's very obvious that the piece that you used the Wright's cream on, came out the most polished.Thank you

    Robin. This was such a neat vider for those who havent tryed them. I lovecthe wrights the best. Works good and doesen't have that caustic smell of Tarnex but tarnex does do a great job on pieces that are hard to clean up. Works greatvon copper. Barkeepers friend does not work as good on really tarnished pieces for me

    I recently moved way out in the rural country and decided it would be more fun and eclectic to use delicate china and beautiful silver here. Now I love finding, cleaning and using my pieces. I have been using Tarn-X as well and yes, it smells like rotten eggs! I do all mine outdoors.

  • @terryo1463
    @terryo1463 3 года назад +2

    Wow that was a good comparison. I think I will use tarn x to get the tarnish off and then go over with wrights to polish it up since the wrights was much shinier.

    I have used Wright's silver cleaner before and like it. The one cleaned with it seemed shiny while the other two seemed dull. It's hard to choose between tarnish patina or bright & shiny!! TFS.😊 👍 💖

    • @RobinJohnsonDecor

      It really is, if I remember correctly the tarnx stuff seems to re-tarnish much more quickly.

    Tarnx will strip the silver plate right off. You have to be quick, like seconds, and get it off of there. If you leave it on longer than that your silver will have a yellow cast, which means, you've stripped the finish off.

    The Wrights version was a lot shinier, and the other 2 were more of a dull shiny appearance. Did you try after the video cleaning the last 2 with Wrights to see if they would be shinier? Is that the difference between silver plate and sterling? Very useful video. I have used Wrights for many years and I know I’ve tried Tarnex at least once in my life but always go back to Wrights.

    • @RobinJohnsonDecor
      @RobinJohnsonDecor  4 года назад +2

      I wondered if that was just the difference in the grade of silver plate but now I am curious is the wright's would shine it up more, I will check it out and post it on Instagram if there is a difference
