Could anyone recommend an inexpensive way to clean a ring? It's a spinner ring with Celtic knotwork, so there's dirt in all the tiny holes that is very difficult to get out. It's steel or some other type of plain metal, and all the ring-cleaning solutions I've seen have been for silver or gold. How would I clean this ring?

Use a children's soft toothbrush and some toothpaste. It will get into allt he tiny spots and foams well to break up dirt. It is very gentle as well. I would not recomend using a whitening toothpaste, just a basic paste.

I clean mine at domicile each and all the time with a toothbrush and windex, confident, windex. Martha Stewart says warm water and ammonia are in simple terms great for platinum and diamonds and that's fantastically a lot what Windex is. I in all possibility clean mine some instances in step with week considering that I artwork in a scientific institution and could Purell like 10 instances an afternoon. I definitely have a sonic purifier at domicile that i exploit approximately as quickly as each couple of months. i think of jewelers selection of their recs that they supply human beings approximately cleansing their ring.

Believe it or not a toothbrush and some toothpaste will shine it up in no time. Just make sure you don't clean it over the sink because you could drop it down the drain. I clean my Celtic knot ring about once a month. I have had it for about 4years and it still looks brand new!

Baking soda! Won't tarnish the metal and an old toothbrush. Its awesome. I use it to clean my wedding rings. Also, heres a good one. I use baking soda, water and a little bit of vinegar. The bubbling action when its mixed takes off dirt. I know people say use toothpaste, but its too abrasive and can scratch. Baking soda won't scratch. Give it a try.

My daughter who works for a jeweler recommends one capful of ammonia, one quick dab of dish soap, and warm water in a bowl. Soak overnight and clean with a toothbrush. Hope this helps-This is the solution I use for all my jewelry

I've heard that using those tablets you use to clean your false teeth works wonderful. It was on the Rachael Ray show one day. I've never tried it myself, but, I want to. I do not have false teeth, but, I'm willing to buy some of those tablets to see if it works. Your supposed to just drop your ring in the water with the bubbling tablet and viola!
Good luck!
