About This Recipe

"I couldn't believe how dirty my watch and silver jewelry were when I tried
this. Yuck! This saves money and is safe for you and the environment. The
solution can be very drying to your hands so consider using rubber gloves or
even tweezers to handle the jewelry. This recipe is from wire-sculpture.com."

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon dish
      detergent
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 piece aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Heat water in the
    microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.
  2. Cut a piece of aluminum
    foil that roughly covers the bottom of a small bowl (like a cereal bowl).
  3. Pour hot water into bowl.
    Place salt, soda, and dishwashing liquid into bowl. Place jewelry on top of foil
    and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse jewelry in cool water and dry jewelry
    completely with soft cloth. Discard solution after use and make a new batch next
    time.
  4. According to
    wire-sculpture.com, "this works well for gold-filled, brass, german (nickel)
    silver, and sterling silver. I have even cleaned jewelry with freshwater pearls,
    shell cameos and mother of pearl with no problem.".
