Many times, women choose to dispose of jewelry because they think they are no longer in the condition to be used again: they stain, oxidize, change color or lose their shine. However, here we give you some tricks on how to clean jewelry and clothing so that you can bring it back to life and look like new whenever you use them.
Silver
Silver is a very soft metal that is easily scratched and eventually turns black and dulls. To keep it looking like new, there is an easy and practical trick: fill a small container with hot water halfway. Add detergent to wash the soup and stir the mixture until it is diluted. Immerse the jewelry in the container, leave it for a few minutes and when you take it out, rinse it with plenty of cold water. Dry the items with a soft cloth and rub them very hard to make them shine.
Shiny gold
Like silver, soak these accessories in a soapy solution, but when removing them you must clean them with your fingers or with a cotton-based material. Fabrics of other material may contain particles that scratch the surface of the gold. One of the main myths is to use toothpaste or baking soda, but they really are not very recommended, because they are very aggressive. Try to use a detergent that does not contain phosphate.
Charm fantasy
The pieces always have a variety of materials such as brass, steel, glass and plastics. The first thing you should do is recognize them to give them proper care. If it is a metal, you should carefully clean the dirt with a soft cloth, since the surface is delicate, and rub until you see that the piece is already clean. Apply this same technique to materials like copper, bronze, brass, and nickel to restore their luster.

.Lastly, for non-porous glass and imitation stone surfaces use a mild non-abrasive solution and warm water. Scrub lightly with a soft-bristle toothbrush or a very delicate towel.
