This may sound crazy, but the best thing to soak your jewelry in is actually urine. Leaves the jewelry like new!

Simple Green, fully concentrated works the best. I soak all of my jewelry and then use an old soft brissel toothbrush to get into the little crevices. Cleans diamonds, gold, silver, metal band watches etc

I put a plop of ammonia in a bowl of warm water, let the gold soak a couple of minutes, then rinse with water and dry on a cotton dishtowel.
Just make sure to wear protective eyewear when using the ammonia.

Try baking soda and a soft toothbrush.

Toothpaste works well. Don't use one that claims to whiten because it is more abrasive. Be gentle and just brush in small circles, not ripping strokes. God bless!

Walmart sells an excellent brand at their jewelry counter. It's called something like Connoisseur. It's used by professional jewelers, and is very good and not very expensive (about $3.00). The directions are on the plastic container. The red container is for gold, gray for silver, and white for delicate. It should last you a long time. Please, if you want your gold jewelry to last and stay beautiful, use a good gold cleaner on it. Other chemicals may pit it.

Make sure what you are cleaning really is all gold, and not plate. Can make a difference.
A friend of mine used a jewelry cleaner that took off the white gold plating (a necklace that had some white gold superimposed on the yellow gold). Needless to say, she was not happy.

My wife and I have done well soaking jewelry in Listerine.
