Science fiction, possibly Ray Bradbury?, man murders someone, then needs to clean his house to get rid of blood (evidence). The police find him up in the attic cleaning the silver (?). Does anyone remember the name of this short story? Is it Ray Bradbury?

I think that's it! Thank you. I thought he was caught polishing the silver in the attic, but this sounds like the story I was looking for. Thanks!

That the police find him cleaning in the attic is a spoiler, and should be removed from the header, please.
