Elbow grease

Years ago...as in when I was in middle school or early high school...my grandmother gave me a tea set. At the time we tried to clean it up but couldn't get the tarnish to come off. Since then, it has been a in a box in the basement and then a closet. My parents found it when they moved and we brought it to my house. It then moved with us...lonely in a box and literally black with tarnish. This past week I took a little (whole tub) of wright's cream to it. With some elbow grease ...really more wrist grease since it required more wrist and thumb motion than elbow...it is looking pretty good. It still has a ways to go but it is looking significantly better.
