How to Clean Jewelry Naturally (and Silverware Too!)

Prepare the Bowl: Line a small bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up.

Add Ingredients: Add baking soda, salt, dish liquid, and warm water. Stir gently until mixed.

Soak Items: Place jewelry or silverware into the solution so they touch the foil (this triggers a natural chemical reaction).

Wait: Let them soak for 5–10 minutes.

Rinse & Dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.

Why It Works

Aluminum + baking soda + salt create a chemical reaction that removes tarnish.

Dish liquid helps cut grease and lift dirt.

The combination naturally restores shine without harsh chemicals.

⚠️ Caution:

Do not use this method for jewelry with pearls, opals, turquoise, or porous gemstones (they can get damaged). Stick to silver, stainless steel, and non-porous stones.
