Re: How do you clean your diamond rings?

I go for professional cleanings every 6 months, but in between I will soak it in warm water with a little dawn dish detergent and then brush with a soft tooth brush.


I've also tried tooth paste before (Aunt recommendation) and that left them sparkling. I'm not so good with cleaning my rings. DH always complains and then I'll clean them! Chat Icon

I soak them in alcohol and super hot water. Then brush with toothpaste and finish with windex. Looks new each time.

Re: How do you clean your diamond rings?

i have an espresso maker that i steam them under...they come out like new,,,,,

another trick, boil a small pot of water, when it comes to a rolling boil drop a teaspoon of baking soda and the ring for a couple of seconds...take out and rinse under cool water...comes out beautiful!!!

I have a whole processChat Icon

First, let soak in a combination of hot water, windex and a tiny bit of dish soap. Then, scrub with toothpaste and toothbrush and rinse. Then scrub (with a toothbrush) with the hot water/windex/dish soap combo and rinse again. Often comes out better than when they steam clean it at the jewelry store.

I soak them in wndex and boiling hot water then I brush with a toothbrush and finish with boiling hot water again. I also have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, but the windex is better.

I microwave a little windex & water for 30 secs then drop my jewelry in it while I shower. When I'm done showering, I use a jewelry cleaner brush (came with jewelry cleaner, but is basically a short toothbrush) to brush everything and rinse it under warm water. I then dry them with a t-shirt (one of my lint free tees that I wear to bed.)
