They make their own simple formulas that anyone can do. Plus, it works better anyway. :)<\/p>\n<p>\nJewelry cleaner is nothing more than <strong>a strong cleaning solution and a little suds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>So why spend the money?<\/h2>\n<p>\nJust walk over to your kitchen cupboards and pull out these common cleaners:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mr. Clean (or Ammonia)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dawn Dish Soap (or any Dish Soap)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><h2>There you have it.<\/h2>\n<p>\nEasy at that.

It does wonders to cleaning your jewelry, diamonds and gemstones (<strong>ever try doing dishes in cold water?<\/strong> It doesn&#8217;t work so well).<\/p>\n<p>\nJust be careful <strong>not to put fragile gems<\/strong> like emeralds, tanzanite, opal or pearls in the hot liquid (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/what-you-can-not-put-in-ultrasonic-cleaners\/\">see full list here<\/a>). The hot water could dry out the gems and crack them. But for harder gemstones like sapphire, ruby, diamond, topaz and quartz; no problem. It works like a charm.<\/p>\n<p>\nLet your jewelry soak in the solution for a few minutes, or put this solution into your ultrasonic cleaner and turn it on. It usually takes about <strong>3 minutes to soak and agitate<\/strong> to remove most dirt and debris. When you see dirt particles breaking off and dissolving away from your jewelry, you&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s working.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Where&#8217;s the toothbrush?<\/h2>\n<p>\nNow take an old soft toothbrush and gently dab at your jewelry to <strong>remove any remaining dirt or debris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nMake sure you get underneath the diamonds, prongs and crevices where crud will <strong>build up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nRinse off your items with warm tap water (<strong>don&#8217;t let them go down the drain<\/strong>), and your rings will sparkle like the day you bought them.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s quick, it&#8217;s easy, and <strong>this is what the jewelry stores use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo unless the stores actually give you a bottle of solution for free&#8230; <strong>MAKE YOUR OWN!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nClean your diamonds and gemstones once a week to keep them clean, and this will also prolong the life of your jewelry. <strong>The dirt won&#8217;t erode them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s a simple cleaning solution that works just as well as the pros.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>And you did it all for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Why pay $2 &#8211; $12 for jewelry cleaner solution when you don&#8217;t have to?
