Jewelry Cleaner
Mix together:
* 2 tablespoons liquid hand soap
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 teaspoon ammonia.
Store in a clean glass jar.
To Use:
Briefly soak jewelry in the cleaner and rinse with water. Pat dry with soft cloth. On sturdy, metal jewelry you can use an old, soft toothbrush to scrub jewelry.
Notes:
Can use on gold, silver, diamonds or some costume jewelry. Do not use on opals, pearls or other porous stones.
Silver Cleaner
* 1 quart water
* 5 inch square aluminum foil
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
To use:
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a non-aluminum pan. Drop silver in briefly. Wash in soapy water, rinse and dry.
Notes:
Use only on sterling silver. Works well for small items such as jewelry and flatware. Make a larger batch for larger items.
