Homemade Jewelry Cleaner

I love having clean jewelry, who's with me? Nothing bothers me more, than to look down at my engagement/wedding rings, and find them looking dirty! Having clean gems (especially diamonds) just makes you feel good...right? I'll admit, cleaning jewelry can be a pain, but I have a great homemade solution for you. This is a 'family' recipe and has been passed from my Grammie Cakes (grandma), to my mom, to me. It is extremely simple, and you probably have all of the necessary items in your home today. 

You Need:
1 clean, glass jar
Ammonia 
Dawn 
Water

Directions:
Mix 3 parts ammonia, 1 part water, and 3 drops of Dawn
(i.e. - I used 1 c ammonia, and 1/3 c water) 



voila! 
This solution is extremely simple, and works wonders on your favorite pieces! I keep mine under my bathroom sink, and drop my jewelry in while I get ready. When I finally give up the fight with my hair finish primping, I find perfectly cleaned rings that make me feel like this...
 "Look! They're clean!"

    1. It is seriously amazing! Sometimes, I use an old toothbrush to 'shine' if I am feeling extra ambitious!
