Daily cleaning...

Jewellery experts at Ingle & Rhode have compiled a super list of domestic products used on social media that are kind to your wallet, and can return your precious jewellery to its former glory.

Tomato sauce:

You can immerse a ring, earring, or bracelet in a bowl of tomato ketchup for a few minutes and it will give your jewellery a new lease of life. Don’t leave silver in tomato sauce for too long though. Rinse, dry, and polish for a super shine. Light-coloured beer:

Beer can be a good excuse to help resurrect your gold rings. Put some beer onto a soft cloth and rub the ring, then allow to dry. Not for use on gemstones. Aluminium foil:

Line a bowl with foil, fill it with hot water and mix a tablespoon of bleach-free laundry detergent. Soak the jewellery for a minute and allow to air dry. The foil promotes a chemical process called ion exchange, leaving your jewellery cleaner as a result.

Denture tablets:

These can help bring a diamond or sapphire back to life, just by placing it in a glass of water with a denture tablet for even just a few minutes. Rinse and buff dry for best results.

Mild shampoo:

Delicate shampoo such as baby products can give pearls, opals, and turquoise a new lease of life. Simply mix some of the shampoo with warm water and use a soft brush such as a makeup brush to polish each item in turn. It’s important that you do not soak the jewellery though. Vodka:

Some gemstones can benefit from being treated in vodka. You can put a ring in vodka for just a few minutes, clean, dry and the results will sparkle. Baking soda:

More commonly used for cooking, this is an excellent product to help make your jewellery shine. Create a paste of baking soda and water and apply to silver with a sponge, before rubbing and buffing for a smooth finish. Only use this hack on silver and gold, not on the gemstones themselves. Check with your jeweller before using certain cleaning products on your jewellery.
