It is Easy to Clean Your Jewelry In most cases, cleaning dulled or dirty jewelry does not mean you need to have it professionally serviced in order for your collection to shine. There are products that you can buy for cleaning stubborn jewelry, and those are available pretty much anywhere, but things like that are usually much cheaper online. However, when it comes to cleaning jewelry, they are usually not needed at all - you probably have "weaker" versions of nearly the same thing around your house. Use jewelry cleaning products when you have to clean old or worn jewelry.

1. It is Easy to Clean Your Jewelry
In most cases, cleaning dulled or dirty jewelry
does not mean you need to have it
professionally serviced in order for your
collection to shine.

2. There are products that you can buy for
cleaning stubborn jewelry, and those are
available pretty much anywhere, but things
like that are usually much cheaper online.

3. Use jewelry cleaning products when you have
to clean old or worn jewelry.
Still, if you find that the methods I show you
here are not able to clean up your
pieces, there will be a few suggestions at the
bottom of each jewelry cleaning module.

4. If the cleaning suggestions here don't restore
your jewelry, these products will probably be
just enough extra oomph to save you the
serviceman's fee of cleaning your jewelry.

5. How To Clean And Restore Silver Jewelry
• The supplies you will need to clean light-to-medium
tarnish from silver jewelry:
• White toothpaste with baking soda
• Toothbrush with soft (not firm nor medium) bristles
• Lint-free cloth or soft high cotton t-shirt
• Dish detergent - a very small amount, approximately
1/4 teaspoon
• 1 cup measuring cup or 2 cup measuring
glass, approximate size.

6. First of all, you'll only need the toothbrush and
toothpaste some of the time.
After you've done that to your very tarnished
silver, rinse it clean and don't worry about
drying it. Take your measuring cup and put
some warm water in it.

7. Drop your jewelry into this solution and use
your finger to move it around a little.
After the rinse, place your silver on to the cloth
or old high-cotton t-shirt

8. Cleaning Gold Jewelry In A Few Steps
• The supplies we need to clean gold jewelry are very
similar:
• Toothbrush with soft (not firm nor medium) bristles
• Dish detergent - a very small amount, approximately
1/4 teaspoon
• 1 cup measuring cup or 2 cup measuring
glass, approximate size
• Polishing cloth - these can be improvised, but the price
is not bad either

9. How To Clean Gold Jewelry
To clean gold, drop it into a solution like the one we
made to clean the silver jewelry and let it sit for a
few minutes - 5 or 10 minutes should do. We let
gold soak a bit longer than the silver because
instead of relying on our cloth to clean the
loosened tarnish away like we did with silver, this
time we are relying on the dish-washing liquid to
break down the oils of our skin that get into the
top layers of our gold jewelry, allowing us to
remove it with our toothbrush and a rinse.

10. At about or around halfway through the soaking
of your gold jewelry, especially when cleaning
gold necklaces, reach in and grab the piece of
jewelry you are cleaning and swish it around
in the solution.

11. After you've worked the surface of the piece, dip
it a couple of more times in the solution and
proceed to rinse it in cold running
water, drying it much in the same way we
dried the silver.

12. Cleaning Platinum Jewelry In A Few Steps
• The supplies you need to clean your platinum jewelry are
as follows:
• Ammonia - you will use a 50/50 mix for the solution
• Dish detergent - a very small amount, about 1/4 teaspoon
• 1 cup measuring cup or 2 cup measuring glass, approximate
size
• Soft (not firm or medium) bristle toothbrush
• Polishing cloth - this is a necessity with platinum
• Lint free cloth or high cotton old T-shit without a lot of lint

13. How To Clean Platinum Jewelry
To clean your platinum jewelry, mix a 50/50
solution of ammonia, detergent, and warm
water. Dunk in your platinum jewelry to clean
and this time leave it sit for about 20 minutes.
As your platinum is soaking in the cleaning
solution, you can do something else but don't
forget to come back - you don't want it to sit
for hours.

14. Remove the platinum piece from the solution
and use the toothbrush to clean it up. You can
be a little more rough with it in the places that
are hard to reach because platinum is a lot
more versatile than other precious metals for
jewelry, but when cleaning your platinum
jewelry use the same amount of care as any
other jewelry - don't rely on its strength.

15. When cleaning platinum, it really can be an easy
undertaking to use a professional or buy a
commercial kit. As with the other two
instructional modules on how to clean
jewelry, I will point you below to some of the
top products you can find on Amazon for
cleaning platinum jewelry at home.

16. Platinum tends to be very responsive to
ultrasonic cleaning so if you have a large
collection of any type of jewelry, it may be
worth it to invest in a basin. Otherwise, the
steps found here on how to clean your jewelry
should suffice and I thank you for reading this
and giving it a try for yourself.

17. Best Practices In Keeping Jewelry Clean, Safe, And Looking New:
• Keep your platinum separate from gold and silver, these can
damage each other
• When not wearing your jewelry, keep it in a lined box or hanging -
use the "real-thing" when it comes to storing jewelry (jewelry
boxes, hangars, safe)
• Clean your jewelry regularly - the cleaner it is, the less time you
spend cleaning it and the more time you spend wearing it.
• Treat pieces with stones with extra care. Check before and after
cleaning your jewelry for loosened stones and never put stones in
ammonia unless you are sure they can take it. Diamonds are safe.
