Have you noticed that your beloved jewelry has lost its former shine? Is the ring tarnished, the bracelet less shiny, the necklace a little dull? Rest assured, there’s no need to visit a jeweler or invest in expensive products. Sometimes, all you need to do is take a look in your kitchen cupboards to find something to make them sparkle again. Intrigued? Wait until you see the results…
Baking soda: the versatile powder that restores shine
It’s the unsung hero of our cupboards! Baking soda, this multi-purpose ingredient, is effective at removing embedded impurities.
How to do it?
Prepare a small paste by mixing a teaspoon of baking soda with a little water (about a tablespoon). Apply this paste directly to your jewelry using a soft toothbrush or a soft cloth, rubbing gently. Then rinse with warm water and dry with a clean towel.
Why does it work? Baking soda acts as a gentle exfoliant: it removes dust and residue while respecting the surface of your jewelry. The result: restored shine, without scratches or damage.
White vinegar and baking soda: the effective duo for silver
Does your silver chain seem to have lost its shine? This homemade mixture will restore its shine in just a few minutes.
The express method:
Immerse your silver jewelry in a small bowl. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar, then sprinkle a tablespoon of baking soda over it. If you hear a slight fizz, that’s a good sign! Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
