Homemade jewelry cleaners are a great way to keep your jewelry looking like new, without using expensive professional cleaning solutions. This is a guide about making homemade jewelery cleaners.
I was told by a reputable jeweler in our area many years ago to not buy the stuff they sell in the stores for cleaning gold jewelry. He told me to soak the jewelry in straight lemon ammonia. I keep a small jar under my bathroom sink with the ammonia in it.
This is NOT to be used on pearls or opals, as it could ruin the stones. This keeps my gold and diamonds very shiny.

We use toothpaste quite often. The real secret is to run the object under hot hot water for quite a while then to dry the surfaces with a soft cloth. It does a better job than the steamer at the jewelers, especially on diamonds.

Rub on toothpaste and just wash off. This works great for silver jewelry!

I have a silver necklace that I got from my husband the morning after our wedding. As a result of the use of perfume, body lotions, etc. the necklace now looks dirty. I'd love to let it shine again, but I want to avoid chemicals, as I always try to do when I am cleaning anything
.
Can anyone share tips on a home made remedy for jewelery cleaning? Very much appreciated.

Use white toothpaste to clean your silver jewelry. Use Catsup to clean copper.

I've never bought jewelry cleaner. I don't own a lot of costume jewelry, just a few pieces of 14 carrot gold and sterling silver earrings and necklaces. I clean them with toothpaste and a toothbrush or mild liquid detergent.
How do I make jewelry cleaner?
