diy Ring Cleaning

Thank you!! I will have to try this!

I use a little dawn dish soap on mine...sparkly...

I do the same - instead of Windex, a tiny bit of dish soap.

Nice! My FH bought an at home cleaning kit when he bought my ring so I can clean mine whenever I want to. I love the freedom to do so! I always clean it before we go to any sort of gathering in case people want to see it

That's what I had been using and he told me for diamonds that should be fine, but with a white sapphire that shows all, dawn once dried actually leaves a slight film on the stone - which I can totally attest to! It sparkled much more with windex than dawn dish soap for me.

I have this ultrasonic cleaner thing I got on amazon, put a little dot of dish soap in it with the water and it looks brand new. Cleans my glasses too.

I would say keep in mind that they clean the rings every night because they're trying to sell them. And many many people have tried them on in a day, or they've sat & gotten dusty.

I don't think you need to clean your ring every single night.

Of course I'm totally going home tonight and trying the windex thing!

Jeweler once told me to use a few tablespoons of warm water, one drop of Dawn dishwashing soap, and a couple sprays of Windex, mixed together in a small container. Drop the rings in and let them soak for a couple minutes, then do a quick brushing with a child's soft toothbrush. Rinse under warm running water, and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

This is awesome. My FH was just saying the other day he wanted to get my ring cleaned. Now I know we can do it at home.

Instead of windex, I use pine sol. Makes it sooooo shiny, but I only do it once a week.

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you! I was just going to try to find an at home cleaning online tonight.

Do you have before and after pics?!

I'm gunna have to try this now!

Do you know if you have a natural or lab created stone?

if your sapphire is fracture filled or enhanced steaming it in your dishwasher can shatter your stone...

My boss gave me a cleaner from CVS in a red bottle she uses to wash her very, very nice ring and jewelry and Its great soak for 30 seconds, brush and rinse with warm water and bling bling!

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately no before and after pics since it’s clean. But I may just not clean it over the next month so I can do a before and after compare.

I used to work for a jeweler. We used any ultra sonic with water, a drop of dawn dish soap, and a cap of ammonia. I also have white sapphires in my ring and need to start doing this because they get looking dingy vey quickly.

I heard water, rubbing alcohol with a toothbrush so far the past 6 months it’s been working for me but I may have to try the dawn as well.

Thank you for the great tip. I have white sapphires in my engagement ring and noticed they dull quickly.

Thank you for this. I just took a screen shot so I won't lose this information.
