Best Answer

For platinum or gold, use Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia. This is what jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry and is safe for all types of jewelry. Half Mr. Clean and water with just a little ammonia.

Sterling jewelry is cleaned using either a sterling jewelry dip or baking soda and water as a paste.

I would not use toothpaste. Toothpaste is abrasive and can ruin a high polish.

What can be used to clean jewelry if you dont have jewelry cleaner?

To clean all types of jewelry including fine jewelry a solution of half Mr. Clean and half water with a small amount of ammonia is the best. This works just as well as jewelry cleaner and is what many jewelry stores use in their ultrasonic. Allow the piece to soak for 15 minutes in the solution then rinse with water. If tarnished sterling silver jewelry is to be cleaned, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used. Mix just enough water and baking soda to make a paste then rub the paste on the sterling silver. Rinse and dry. I have seen other solutions used including toothpaste on inexpensive jewelry, but toothpaste is abrasive and I would not use this on any jewelry worth anything.
