A while back I posted at a frugal living website asking for ideas on how to make jewelry cleaner. Here are some of the responses I received.
:: Warm water and baking soda in a flat bottom pan and some aluminum foil in the bottom. OR toothpaste works great too with a old toothbrush. That first one cleans silver too. I wouldn’t use anything on pearls though it will ruin them.
:: I make my jewelry cleaner like this: 1/2 amonia 1/2 water. Let gold jewelry soak for a long while and then use an old toothbrush to scrub with, rinse and wipe dry. Do NOT use on silver jewelry (sterling). Toothpaste or a polishing cloth is the best for that.
:: For gold jewelry I use toothpaste and and old toothbrush.
