I had soot above my fire box on the rock, in the kitchen, and on just about everything plastic in the house. A Magic eraser took care of everything. The rock tore the heck out of the thing, and it took 2 to clean the fireplace rock. I had tried many things and had no luck. Great product. My rock is beige, and I got 99% of the beige back.

Depending on how bad the soot is on the ring you may need to try a couple of things. Many times a jeweler will need to polish the ring to get the shine back, but you can try these things first. A solution of Mr. Clean, Ammonia, and water can be used to soak the jewelry in. This is the same solution that jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry. You can also try using a polishing cloth to remove some of the surface soot. These suggestions only work if the soot is light. If there are stones, a jeweler will need to remove the stones and polish the area under where the stones were set. Dullness under the stones will keep the diamonds from sparkling.
