Dirty Ring - Before
Pretty easy to throw this together because they are common household items.
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon dish detergent
1 cup water
1 piece aluminum foil
Directions:
1. Heat water in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.
2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil that roughly covers the bottom of a small bowl (like a cereal bowl).
3. Pour hot water into bowl. Place salt, soda, and dish washing liquid into bowl. Place jewelry on top of foil and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse jewelry in cool water and dry jewelry completely with soft cloth. Discard solution after use and make a new batch next time.
Working it's Magic.....
I hope that you can see the difference. Here is the after, my nice clean ring.
I think it worked pretty well, there is sparkle there again and my white gold bands don't look so grimy anymore. I have a jewelry cleaner set but if I ever run out of the solution or I'm in a pinch I would defiantly do this again.
I would recommend using an old toothbrush to scrub the jewelry as you rinse it in cold water because there is still dirt on the bottom of the stones and in the small crevices where the cloth didn't reach. Overall this is a good thing to have in your back pocket for an emergency, also if you want to go green. You know what is in this cleaner and it doesn't smell as harsh as the bottled on that I have. Enjoy!
