The majority of jewelry cleaners are filled with harsh chemicals. I found that using household products can be just as effective, and a lot greener.
To clean your jewels mix one cup of warm water (not too hot) with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a bowl and let jewelry sit (one piece at a time) for about 10 minutes. Voila – shine and sparkle restored!
As an aside – I once worked in an office where the engaged girls would bring in their toxic jewelry cleaner every Friday and take turns cleaning their engagement rings while talking loudly about their weddings. Um yeah, this made the single girls (and dudes) pretty annoyed. Heads up: clean your jewels at home ladies, not in the office please. 😉
