DIY Jewelry Cleaner Guide

Within moments, you may notice tiny bubbles forming around the jewelry or subtle movement in the water. This indicates that tarnish is actively lifting from the metal. Lightly tarnished items may require only a few minutes, while heavily tarnished pieces may benefit from soaking for up to ten minutes. Pieces with delicate  gemstones, glued settings, or porous materials such as  pearls should be treated with extra caution or cleaned separately using gentler methods.

Once the soaking is complete, carefully remove the jewelry and rinse it under cool running water to remove any remaining residue. Pat dry with a soft, lint free cloth and gently buff the surface. The transformation is often immediate, revealing renewed shine and clarity that closely resembles the jewelry’s original finish. Repeating this process every few weeks helps maintain luster and allows you to regularly inspect each piece for loose settings, scratches, or signs of wear.
