How to Clean Your Bling! Tutorial Tuesday

My sister-in-law taught me this trick years ago (thanks Lisa!), and I've cleaned my wedding rings this way ever since. Why spend the money on the kits they sell at the jeweler when you can get professional looking results at home? For reals!

Let's Clean Your Bling, Baby!

Supplies:

One cup of water
1/2 Tbsp. powdered laundry detergent (don't use anything with bleach, I use plain ol' Arm & Hammer )
Small sauce pan


**(Disclaimer: I have only used this method with my own rings that are gold and diamond with platinum settings. I don't know how this process would work with a silver, white gold, or platinum ring or other stones.)



Combine the water, detergent, and your rings in the pan.

Directions:



Place over the burner...It's so scary! I know! Let it come to a boil.



Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble...

Let bubble on low for about 5 minutes.



Rinse and pat dry:



and walk around gesturing wildly with your sparkly bling!
