You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush if you need to scrub your jewelry more.
Don’t use lemon juice without diluting first since it’s highly acidic. Avoid submerging any jewelry that has fake stones since the solution could loosen the glue holding them in place.
Look for a toothpaste made for teeth whitening since it usually has baking soda, which helps clean any discoloration on your jewelry.
Use a toothpick or cotton swab to get rid of tarnish in tight crevices and hard to reach places.
You can buy metal polish from any home care store.
Aluminum foil will help pull any tarnish off of your jewelry so it shines again. You can also use an aluminum pie plate if you have one.
The baking soda and salt will lift the tarnish off of your jewelry and will transfer it to the aluminum foil. Don’t submerge any jewelry that has glass stones or fake jewels since the solution could cause them to come loose.
Make sure the toothbrush you use is only for cleaning purposes. Wet your toothbrush occasionally with the baking soda-salt solution to get the best clean.
You may use a hair dryer on the cool setting to speed up the drying process. Make sure the jewelry is completely dry or else it could start to rust.
