What You’ll Need:
✔ A bowl of warm water
✔ A few drops of mild dish soap (like Dawn)
✔ A soft toothbrush or cloth
How It Works:
1️⃣ Mix the Solution: Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Stir gently to create a soapy solution.
2️⃣ Soak Your Jewelry: Drop your rings, bracelets, or other jewelry into the bowl and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. The soap will break down the oils and dirt clinging to your jewelry.
3️⃣ Gently Scrub (Optional): If your jewelry has stubborn grime, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub hard-to-reach areas, like the crevices of a ring setting.
4️⃣ Rinse and Dry: Rinse your jewelry under lukewarm running water, then pat dry with a soft cloth.
And just like that—your jewelry is shiny and new again! ✨
Why This Trick Works So Well
✔ Effortless Cleaning: The soap and warm water dissolve dirt and oil without harsh chemicals.
✔ Safe for Most Jewelry: This method is gentle on gold, silver, diamonds, and most gemstones (except porous stones like opals and pearls).
✔ Cost-Effective: No need for expensive jewelry cleaners—everything you need is already in your kitchen!
