I let it soak in a solution of ammonia and water. then, i steam clean it with that little red jewelry steamer. it works just as well as the jewelry store cleaner. in fact, it was my jeweler who recommended it when i told him i wanted to buy a professional steamer.

I did try with Windex and it looks sparkling. Would Windex be safe for jewlery cleaning? My husband is freaking out.

While gold does not tarnish, as other precious metals might, it can still lose its luster and discolor if not cleaned properly. The easiest way to clean gold jewelery is by using mild detergent, dissolved in water. Soak the jewelery briefly, then clean it well with a small brush. Be sure to get any dirt or oil build-up that has collected in creases or crevices of the jewelery. Then rinse well and polish with a soft cloth to be sure that there is no water or soap left on the gold.

Thanks for the tip!

I usually use a jewelry cleaning solution though, those that come in a bottle for merely a few dollars. Works fine for me

I usually clean my pieces with precious stones and diamonds with a simple jewelry cleaner and brush. I sometimes even use an old toothbrush and toothpaste if I can't find my jewelry cleaner solution.

Awesome. What brand do you have and how much was it? You just put water in the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner right?

I want to purchase one, but I don't know how much I should spend for a good quality one. I've seen some from $20 to $100+

I payed mine 35 euros. I put demineralized water and a drop of liquid soap. The one you use to wash dishes.
I am in europe so I don't know if you will find the brand. Anyway, it is made in china, I guess.

I use hot water and a little Mr.clean, and a super soft toothbrush. Let it soak for a minute, then brush. But only for diamonds!

Dawn dish liquid (the ORIGINAL blue Dawn, not the Dawn with lotion and such) and semi-hot water mixture. About a Quarter size squirt of Dawn in a cup, fill about 1/2 to 3/4 up with semi-hot water, put in jewelry and let soak. I usually leave mine in overnight. Cuts the crud in no time! Rinse thoroughly in cool water, air dry. I also use some Dawn on a toothbrush if I want to scrub something.
