Follow The Directions

01

Step

Begin by heating the water in a microwave-safe container for 1 to 2 minutes, until hot but not boiling. (Time: 1-2 minutes)

02

Step

Line a cereal bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the foil covers the bottom surface. Carefully pour the heated water into the foil-lined bowl. (Time: 1 minute)

03

Step

Gently add the salt, baking soda, and dish detergent to the hot water. Avoid stirring to allow the cleaning action to occur directly on the jewelry. (Time: 1 minute)

04

Step

Place the jewelry pieces on top of the aluminum foil, ensuring they make contact with the foil. Allow the jewelry to soak in the solution for 5 to 10 minutes, observing as the tarnish lifts away. (Time: 5-10 minutes)

05

Step

After soaking, carefully remove the jewelry and rinse thoroughly under cool, running water. Ensure all traces of the cleaning solution are removed. (Time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Gently dry each piece of jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth, restoring its shine. (Time: 2 minutes)

For best results, use distilled water to prevent mineral deposits.
Ensure jewelry is fully submerged and touching the aluminum foil for optimal cleaning.
This cleaner is designed for tarnish removal; heavily soiled pieces may require additional cleaning.
Do not reuse the cleaning solution; prepare a fresh batch each time for maximum effectiveness.
Suitable for sterling silver, gold, and jewelry with durable gemstones. Exercise caution with porous stones and always test in an inconspicuous area first.

    Works great, but my jewelry smells a little like sulfur afterwards. Make sure you rinse it well

    I used this on my vintage silver earrings, and they look amazing!

    I added a bit of lemon juice to the mix, and it seemed to work even better!

    I accidentally used tap water. Does it matter?

  • Guy Wilkinson

    The smell is a little strong, so make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area.

  • Merlin Macejkovic

    This is a game-changer! I've tried so many expensive jewelry cleaners, and this is the best.

  • Nash Lemke

    Be careful not to leave your jewelry in too long; it can dull the finish if you do.
