Hello Ladies,

Please share your special techniques on how you clean your engagement rings without bring them to the jewlers.....

Re: cleaning your engagement ring

I was bringing mine to the jeweler like 2x a month and I felt bad so he gave me a cleaner I can do it at home with.
My mom always said to use white-colored toothpaste and a toothbrush as an altrenative.

I got a cleaner from the jewelers...clean it about once a month, maybe less.

I shake the thing for like 4 minutes then use the brush given to get under the diamond- so sparkly!!!

I use a cleaner with a ammonia and water. I love it.

I sometimes use ammonia but usually windex and hot water (boiling) i let it soak for a bit then take an old toothbrush and clean in the nooks and cranny's. Then rinse with more hot water. So sparkly!!!

Re: cleaning your engagement ring

I usually take it to be steam cleaned. Otherwise I usually use the blue jewerly cleaner stuff.

Re: cleaning your engagement ring

I used colgate toothpaste (currently the mint zing one) and it does wonders. I had tried soaking in dawn a few times but find that toothpaste is a little quicker.

Re: cleaning your engagement ring

My uncle is a diamond dealer in NYC and he told me to never use a brush on ur diamond because it will losen the stone!!

Re: cleaning your engagement ring

Warm water with a touch of amonia and a toothbrush. Sparkles as if it was brand new!!!!!
