DIY Cheap and Easy! Jewelery Cleaner


Hiii! If you made the Earring Holder, chances are you're going to have to clean your earrings before you put them on display. So here's a cheap and easy solution to make them sparkle! This is great for silver and costume jewelery with rhinestones and diamonds in general.

What you'll need:
  • Glass
  • 3 minute denture tablets
  • Water
  • Towel (paper or cloth)

Step One:
          Put all your jewelery that needs to be cleaned in glass, fill with warm water just until everything is covered.

Step Two:
          Drop two tablets into the water.Wait 5-10 minutes. *I usually do this then take a shower, so 10 minutes is fine.


Step Three:
          Once it is done fizzing and getting sudsy, drain the glass over a closed bottom sink, so if anything falls out it won't get washed down the drain.
Step Four:
          Rinse with warm water, repeating step three. Empty glass onto a towel so everything can dry.

That's it! Your jewels should be looking good and feeling fine and ready for their debut on your lace earring holder!


*An alternate way, if your jewels require scrubbing:

What you'll need:

  • Denture tablet
  • Glass
  • Toothbrush
Step One:
          Put about a quarter of an inch of warm water in the glass. Place the tablet in and smash it up.


Step Two:
          Using the toothbrush, dip it in the solution and then gently scrub your jewelery. Rinse with warm water. Dry on towel.
