2 Ingredient Jewelry Cleaner

How to Make Jewelry Cleaner

  1. Line the bowl.

    Line a glass bowl with aluminum foil with the shiny side facing outward.

  2. Place the jewelry.

    Put the jewelry you want to clean in the bowl making sure it’s touching the foil.

  3. Cover with baking soda.

    Pour baking soda over the jewelry just enough so that you can’t see it.

  4. Add boiling water.

    Immerse the jewelry with boiling water.

  5. Soak the jewelry.

    Let the jewelry soak for 3 to 5 minutes or less if it’s not really dirty.

  6. Take the jewelry out.

    Use tongs or a fork to lift out the jewelry so you don’t get burned and rise under cold water.

  7. Enjoy your sparkling jewelry!

    You might have to repeat this process a few times if the jewelry is super tarnished.

Look at your sparkling jewelry! If the jewelry is very dirty or very tarnished – like silver or gold – then you may need to repeat the process so just add a little more baking soda and more boiling water – but make sure it’s boiling, that’s key!  You can also use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies of detailed jewelry.

This method works great on sterling, silver, gold, costume jewelry metals.. But do be careful if you’ve got a lot crystals glued into a setting and limit soaking to no more than 90 seconds – or you might melt the glue.

Also, don’t immerse natural pearls in this solution – it’s too caustic. It is however, fine for most gemstones and works wonders on cubic zirconia! And in case you’re wondering ….it also works fab for cleaning silverware, silver frames or any silver home decor!
