How To Clean Your Jewellery at Home

REVEllers , as you know, we offer a wide range of services at our Devon House Store . One of those services is Jewellery Cleaning . For those of you who might be in need of a "Quick Fix", these tips are for you . These are products that you can find in your own home.


Toothpaste

Put a little toothpaste on an old toothbrush and use it to make your diamond ring sparkle instead of your teeth. Clean off the residue with a damp cloth. This is one of the methods my Mother used back in the day when we could not make it to the Jewellery store to get our pieces cleaned .


Aluminum Foil

To clean your jewelry, simply line a small bowl with aluminum foil. Fill the bowl with hot water and mix in one tablespoon of bleach-free powdered laundry detergent (not liquid), like Tide. Put the jewelry in the solution and let it soak for one minute. Rinse well and air-dry. This procedure makes use of the chemical process known as ion exchange, which can also be used to clean silverware.


Ammonia

Brighten up your gold and silver trinkets by soaking them for 10 minutes in a solution of 1/2 cup clear ammonia mixed in 1 cup warm water. Gently wipe clean with a soft cloth and let dry. Note: Do not do this with jewelry containing pearls, because it could dull or damage their delicate surface.


Vinegar

Make your silverware — as well as your pure silver bracelets, rings, and other jewelry — shine like new by soaking them in a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons baking soda for two to three hours. Rinse them under cold water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.


Warm Water

Simply soak your Jewellery in warm water and mild soap for an hour. Use an old tooth to reach those really small spaces. Dry with smooth dry rag to "polish" and in an instant your Jewellery will be like new .
