NEVER BUY JEWELLERY CLEANER AGAIN!
I GET ABOUT 100 MESSAGES A DAY REQUESTING THIS... SO HERE IT IS AGAIN!
remember to like & share to keep this on your timeline!
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.".

Or you can use an aluminum cake pan. Super low level "electrolysis" using salt ions.

YES, this works!
I use this method to remove tarnish from old silverware that I make jewelry out of.
The only exception in my case is that I do NOT use the dish detergent.
