TikToker Shares A Quick And Easy Way To Clean Your Tarnished Jewelry
Louise Peralta
Are you a fan of jewelry? Maybe you have multiple items in your collection already, or perhaps you have been gifted one by your loved one.
As shiny as they can be when they’re still fresh out of the box, jewelry does tarnish over time.
Jewelry from famous brands like Tiffany & Co. and Pandora isn’t an exception to this rule.
Like my mother, do you have a dedicated cleaning day for all your pieces of jewelry or do you just pay to get them all cleaned? The first option takes a lot of time while the second option will cost you a lot of money.
But with just 4 simple things you most probably have in your kitchen already, you can clean your pieces of jewelry in minutes.
All you’d need to put in a bowl are boiling water, aluminum foil, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of salt.

An expired warranty will never be an issue anymore! Also, with this quick and easy cleaning hack, you’d look forward to the day your jewelry gets tarnished again since you’ll feel like a scientist as you clean your silvers or golds. If the salt and baking soda bath missed any spots on your jewelry, simply wipe it off.
Fair warning, though; some say that doing this cleaning method regularly might damage your jewelry. If you just need a quick clean, using Dawn and warm water is enough.
A former Pandora employee commented on this viral video and informed OP that Pandora offers a lifetime of free cleaning in their stores. OP replied that she wasn’t told about the free services when she went to the store. Another person also said that some employees just can’t be bothered with helping their customers out, and another former employee from a UK Pandora store said that they can’t clean jewelry anymore, probably because of Covid.

Just boil some water, line your bowl with aluminum foil, pour the boiled water into the prepped bowl, and then add the powders. Let your jewelry soak for 5-10 minutes and then use a cloth or toothbrush to clean excess dirt.
