Aluminum Foil and Salt 
- Place a strip of aluminum foil on top of a small pile of table salt.
- Use the foil-and-salt mixture to clean your jewelry by rubbing it gently over the surface.
- This method is effective for cleaning silver, gold, platinum, and jewelry with stones or pearls.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
- Mix baking soda and vinegar to make a paste.
- Use a soft toothbrush to clean your jewelry.
- Then, rinse with water and repeat if needed!
Lemon Juice and Olive Oil 
- Apply a small amount of lemon juice on the stain and rub it gently.
- Leave it untouched for 15-20 minutes.
- Wash off with water in a circular motion and make sure that you don’t rub your jewelry as this might cause further damage to it.
- Now, add some olive oil to a cotton pad and apply it over the stained area on your jewelry piece. You can use an old toothbrush or soft cloth for this purpose if you do not have any cotton pads at hand. The oil will absorb into the fabric within seconds leaving behind no traces of lemon juice but at the same time make sure that all stains are removed from those areas where lemon juice was applied beforehand (i.e., outside).
Mouthwash
- Pour some mouthwash into a small bowl or cup and use a cotton swab to apply it to your jewelry.
- Rinse with water, then dry with a soft cloth
Ketchup
- Ketchup is a great cleaning agent. It’s cheap and effective, but you should be aware of its limitations.
- You can use ketchup to clean gold, silver, and brass jewelry. Not so much copper though—it will discolor it!
- Rub the ketchup on your jewelry with a soft cloth or sponge. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.
Toothpaste with Baking Soda 
- Use a soft toothbrush to remove any dust or dirt from your jewelry.
- Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the toothbrush and gently scrub away any residue or stains on the jewelry.
- If there are stubborn stains on your jewelry that won’t come off with just a light scrubbing, try adding baking soda to the mixture.
- The baking soda will help loosen up even more dirt and grime.
