Clean Fine Jewelry with an Electric Toothbrush

The best way to clean jewelry is to use an electric toothbrush and vinegar (or you can use commercial jewelry solution, Windex, or even toothpaste)

Steps:

1. Save your old electric toothbrush head when you change it to a new one.
2. Soak your rings, bracelets, and necklaces in vinegar or whatever solution you prefer for a few minutes.
3. Change your newer electric toothbrush head back to your old toothbrush head that you've saved.
4. Holding your jewelry in your hand or flat on a counter (necklaces) go over and around them for a minute or so with the brush head vibrating. Rinse off in water, dry with a soft cloth, and they come out sparkling clean.

You will find this deep cleans all the nooks and crannies where gunk gets built up through time. I find this works much better than using those little brushes that come with cleaning solution. Also, it is easier for people with arthritis/pain in their hands.

I have a couple of rings I can't get off, so I just clean them using this method while they are still on my fingers. I turn my diamonds around so that they are facing up on my palm side so I can hold them steadier.
