Jewelry is the adornment of every woman, but also of men.
Even though they are made of precious metals, you should expect that their appearance can change over time.
They will gradually tarnish and lose their shine.
There is no reason to stop wearing them, since cleaning them can be child’s play. You just need to know how to do it and what you will need.
Take a look at the tried-and-true and most popular methods for cleaning jewelry. We start with gold ones.
Salt
Everyone has it at home. It is used to season food, but it can also be a great helper, especially when cleaning jewelry.
Ideally, take a glass of water and dissolve 5 tablespoons of salt in it.
Put your gold jewelry into this solution for several hours. After removing, rinsing and drying they will be perfect.
Sugar
It too is a well-known seasoning that has effects other than sweetening food. Take a glass of hot water and stir 3 teaspoons of sugar into it. Then put the jewelry you need to clean into it.
Leave them for several hours, or even overnight. Afterwards you can admire the perfect result.
Vinegar
Another well-known helper primarily from your kitchen. Use it for cleaning jewelry instead of food.
But be careful with its aggressiveness. It’s ideal to soak a cloth in it, then clean the jewelry with the cloth, then rinse them with water and dry. You will see that this procedure will lead to a perfect result.
Lemon
It’s not only vinegar that is a strong and aggressive cleaner. Lemon is too.
Squeeze a bit of juice from it first and then proceed the same way as with vinegar. You will see that the jewelry will shine perfectly again.
How to clean other types of jewelry?
If you have silver jewelry, or those made of white gold, two methods can help.
The first is a combination of lemon juice with ammonia, which creates a fairly strong and effective cleaning solution.
The second option is raw potatoes. Grate them on a fine grater and put the jewelry you want to clean into them. Leave for a few hours and the result will be perfect.
If you have jewelry with gemstones, you should also know the method by which you will give them a perfect appearance as well. Again, there is no need to fear major complications. Pure alcohol with water, or vodka, can help, for example.
Harder stones can also be cleaned with ammonia alone. It is important to think primarily of two things: the combination of strength and the gentleness that jewelry naturally requires.
