Jewelry can lose its sparkle over time due to dirt, oils, and everyday wear. Luckily, you can make your jewelry shine like new with a few simple tips. Here’s a comprehensive guide to quickly and easily clean your jewelry at home. For most jewelry, a solution of warm water and mild dish soap is all you need. Mix a few drops of soap in a bowl of warm water, then soak your jewelry for 15-20 minutes. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any dirt or grime, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
