You need:
a plastic bowl
your favorite silver jeweler
laundry detergent/washing powder (preferably the one for hand-washing or biological one)
hot water
Place all the jewelery in a bowl,add 1-2 tablespoons of washing powder and add hot (not boiling!!!) water.
Wait for 10-30 minutes depending on how dirty the jewelery is and remove it from the bowl.Rinse and pace on a towel to dry.
hehe thats what i do, except for any jewellery with opals. Opals become fragile if left to soak in water.(might need to check with any gem tones...im sure there are others that dont do well in water...(might be Emeralds)
ReplyDeleteI also have a child's toothrbush which i use to brush away any gunk underneath any gems
Really? Most of the time when people say "tip of the day" it's something i already know. This one, I didn't!
