Natural Jewelry Cleaning



Rings and watch bands get really dirty with everyday wear.
Lotions, perfume, body-oils... it builds up. Every few weeks I like to clean my rings so they sparkle like new! Harsh chemical cleaners can strip protective layers put on your fine jewelry, so i like to use a simple natural solution.


You'll need:

white vinegar
baking soda
extra-soft bristled tooth brush
spray bottle
small dish/glass
paper towels



 mix a tablespoon of baking soda with just enough water to make a thick paste. 
Gently rub the paste into the nooks and crannies.
Fill the spray bottle with vinegar and spray the items until the baking soda bubbles. 
Continue to spray and gently rub with the tooth brush.


I like to then drop the rings into a small dish filled with vinegar to bubble off any excess baking soda and grime.

Rinse with hot water under the faucet (carefully! I always stop the drain to avoid any mishaps) and lightly polish with soft paper towels.

Your gems with sparkle like new!!
