Cleaning Gold & Diamond Jewlery w/household items;?
Question:I have several pieces of gold and diamond jewlery that I would like to clean up... I don't have the jewlery cleaner that many stores sell on hand, so I would like to know if there are any household alternatives. I wouldn't want to lose any stones so I'm looking for the most throurough, gentle cleaning I can get.
Thanks for all your answers!

You will need amonia and gloves. Pour amoina into a cup of warm water and let the items sit in it for a few minutes. Then take a soft toothbrush and gently scrub them while in the soluti. Then rinse with hot water and dry with a soft cloth...
This is going to sound totally off the wall but tooth brush and toothpaste is how my mom has always cleaned her wedding band and diamonds. They really shine afterwards.
My jeweler told me for in between times when I go in to have my gold and diamond jewelry cleaned with her to put one capful of amonia into a cup of water and let the items sit in it for a few minutes. Then take a soft toothbrush and gently scrub them while in the solution with that. Then rinse with clear water (so you don't get a rash when you wear them next) and dry on a soft lint free cloth. You will be amazed! I only have my jewelry done once a year professionally now due to this great fix. I can't tell the difference between when they do it and when I do that! I only go in once a year to have them inspected really now since I learned this.
lighter fluid
MJ is correct, I use toothpaste and a very soft toothbrush, it works wonders, be care not to scrub too hard for it could scratch
We use Windex...just pour a little in a bowl and soak the jewelry for a while...then brush with a soft tooth brush...works like magic.
follow phxmilitarymom s advice this works wonders but do it in a well ventilated room as the smell of amonia water is extremely strong.
Never use toothpaste on your jewelry--it will leave a film!! Instead, use a mild solution of amonia and water. You can also add a small amount of dish soap to the solution. Be sure to rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Put liquid make-up on a piece of tissue and rub it, the tissue will be black with dirt and it will shine like you never seen as if it were brand new again.
gold? diamond ? jewlery ? didnt know you were rich !
use some vinegar cleaner to remove the old dirt, also you may use household ammonia excellent cleaner.
Your can also use those false teeth cleaner fresheners work wonders also with the bubble action it does. Good Luck
AS LONG AS YOUR STONES AREN'T POROUS , I THINK AMMONIA, GLASS CLEANER, OR EVEN PERM SOLUTION WORKS WELL
As for gold item you just need to use some washing detergent to rub or brush on it after that just wash it off. Whereas for diamond I normally use a toothbrush and brush on the reverse side to get rid of the dirt. You also can use some warm water to wash it after that to get rid of oil.
I wish I had diamond and gold jewlery to wear!!
I have always used a tooth brush and some tooth paste. Works for me...
Avoid toothpaste. Use window cleaner. Windows cleaner contains ammonia which disolves both grease and wax (from peoples' natural oils and hand lotions). A brush with window cleaner works best.
Toothpaste has grit which can dull the metal.
dish soap , shampoo or ammonia
I use Dawn Dish Detergent and a soft bristle toothbrush. Works wonders !!
Tooth paste works prefect.
