What do brushing your teeth and cleaning your wedding ring have in common? Well, whether you believe it or not quite a bit. I am sure that there are many ways that you can clean your wedding ring, but the question remains - what will get the job done the best? The three most effective methods for cleaning a wedding ring include toothpaste, window cleaner, and of course a trip to the jewelers.
Using an old tooth brush and tooth paste may be one of the easiest and cheapest way's to keep your gems shining. The best part is you have everything that you need right in your bathroom. All you have to do is take an old toothbrush and apply a small amount of toothpaste. Rub the toothbrush over the ring creating a good lather and rinse.
Using window cleaner is very similar to using tooth paste. Fill a small bowel with some luke warm water and a small amount of window cleaner.
While the ring is in water, scrub the ring gently with a rag. When finished wipe it off, and viola - a beautiful shining ring.Last, but not least, go to the jewelers. If possible try to return it to the same jeweler where you got the ring from. You paid a pretty penny and the least they can do is clean the ring for you, especially in this economy. If going to the place where you purchased the ring is a definite no, or the ring was a family heirloom try a reputable jeweler that's in your area. At the jewelers you could either ask up front if there is a fee to clean, or you could hint around that your ring's dirty. Worse they could say is that they will clean it for a fee.
Overall, keep those toothbrushes that no longer do any good for your teeth. You could use toothpaste or window cleaner to clean the ring. If all else fails or if you want a professional, go on to the jeweler. Now you know how to keep the jewels shining.
