My Grandma Was the Real Master: The Magic of Grandma’s Jewelry Cleaning Trick

Cleaning jewelry doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals or expensive products. Grandma’s tried-and-true method uses simple household items to restore shine and sparkle — safely and effectively.

Ingredients You’ll Need

A bowl (glass or ceramic works best)

Aluminum foil

Hot water (not boiling, just comfortably hot)

Optional: baking soda or mild salt for extra cleaning power

How It Works

The trick relies on a natural chemical reaction between aluminum foil, hot water, and any tarnish on your jewelry. This reaction gently removes oxidation from silver and other metals, making your pieces shine like new.
