HOW TO: clean fashion jewelry with one household product

Here is a quick and easy tutorial on how to clean jewelry that is not made from real gold or silver. Jewelry becomes dull and dirty from the oils in your skin, the air, and just laying around. This is a good way to brighten up old fashion jewelry that you may have bought from Forever21, Charlotte Russe, etc.
All you need is:
-jewelry that needs to be cleaned
-any kind of toothpaste
-an old toothbrush
-a soft towel

Thankyou for this idea..i was so sad to see my favorite chain faded but this idea of yours made my chain look as good as new...thank you so much

[@susanlevy652]

Whether this works or not it's a good idea to suggest putting the plug in the sink, or a washcloth, so nothing falls into the drain.

[@sharid76]

And, if you do that, then lay out a washcloth in the bottom of the sink too, to protect both the jewelry and the surface of the sink from dark marks, chips, etc from dropping things in it while you are working. It's difficult to be too careful with this!

This is the tip ive been using for years passed down from my great grandma. Works better if its a cheap white traditional toothpaste too. It works on real silver and gold.

Please do NOT use toothpaste on real gold or silver jewelry! You will damage it--I saw it too many times when I worked in a fine jewelry store.

[@BeyondVertical101]

Jessie Baker if something like (toothpaste!!) can hurt real expensive gold and not fake gold then why even buy the real thing ? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@AshleeBarrera]

Oh my gosh!! I thought I had ruined my fake rose gold necklace forever, but using toothpaste literally saved it!! I was about to toss it before I decided to look up videos. Thanks for posting this!!

[@shaneisesmith25]

It really worked I tried it today because I was about to just throw away my collection of jewelry away but thanks for the video it really helped

[@TheBlackTinkerBell]

You've just saved me so much on my costume jeweler ty

[@yourlastbraincell4116]

[@larakaram2501]

[@DianaRZ017]

I seriously was about to be mad if I put toothpaste on my real gold chain. I tried everything the dish soap, the baking soda and it didn't work. But this of all things worked like a charm. Thank you. Cuz I really didn't want to buy jewelry cleaner from Walmart.

[@fq3587]

Thank you so much! I bought a bag From thrift store yesterday with rusted studs and lock! I tried the remedy and it was a miracle..

I just did it and it worked! It was a nice gold tone intricate design with simulated pearls. It was new, but so tarnished I was kind of embarrassed to wear it. I didn't have her Crest, I used my Crest "Brilliance" and I worked deliberately and quickly. I didn't want to dull the pearls. The Crest almost started to take the color off to where a copper color showed. Just be quick and stop the sink up in case you drop something. Thank you for the tip. I also used it on 2 silver tone bracelets. Again, working super fast with toothbrush. Bingo! Well actually I used in on a gold ring that has opal. Hard to clean with that opal. I worked super quick with toothbrush and rinsed quickly. Nice. First time that was cleaned in a long, long time. Again, much thanks and thank you for not making the video long and drawn out.

[@camillemoore9737]

OMG...thank you for posting this video! I was racking my brain trying I to figure out how to clean my favorite statement necklace. You're a life saver! 😃

NEVER keep your jewelry on, either costume or fine, when using any kind of chemicals. Especially strong chemicals like that contained in Nair! You've already seen the results of that. But that also includes household and laundry cleaners, particularly anything containing chlorine bleach, which will absolutely ruin gold. It will eat it up, like acid. My grandfather was a bench jeweler when I was born in 1957, and until he passed away when I was in my 40's. I learned a considerable amount from him over those years - he started teaching me for real when I turned 9. That's a lot of years of great information!

[@sandraoaks7887]

Shari D57, Hello Shari, I was wondering with all of that awesome information 👍 u were handed down... Have u thought ab passing it down? Perhaps your own podcast like this one. Pls let me know if u do. Ty. Have a blessed day. 💝

[@sharid76]

@@sandraoaks7887 - Thank you very much. It's a lot of information. I'm actually not what you might consider a good candidate for doing podcasts, but I have passed it down on these kinds of posts on KZbin wherever it seems to fit in appropriately, or whenever anyone asks questions where I feel the answer might be helpful. It's easier to do it "in small doses - or even almost large" wherever it seems to fit in best.

[@LotteryWithJenny]

thank you so much for this i honestly didn't think it was going to work but then I was like 'what do I have to lose'

[@ActiveWormz]

while my LV keychain has been tarnished for over a year and i gaveup on it and been on its pouch for over a year. and now i remember about it so i soaked it on sprite first and proceed with the toothpaste. i didnt expect that it will work like a charm. im so inlove on it again. ill try to work on my favorite tomorrow , see if it will work aswell. TY I Should have done this right after vacation lastyear, dont know why that area tarnished all my LV´s haha!!!

[@bubblychickbubblychick1803]

Absolutely brilliant video. I managed to clean a copper charm bracelet, and it worked! It came out beautifully, thanks to your amazing tip, cleaning it with toothpaste. I've tried vinegar and ketchup, and this is the best product by far!

[@cessnaespitia9075]

i've read that you should never use ketchup on your jewerly because it is acidic.

[@nicolevinette8184]

I can’t believe how well this worked, thank you!!!

[@OhSoNaturalHair]

[@gayirajeshwarrao8683]

Will it work

[@districtwashington7461]

i think that for gold or silver or even copper works, if you know what kind of metal is your jewelry made of, then look for all the alternatives to clean it.. i have some silver so i use baking soda and warm water, but for others i will try anything

[@carynb9180]

Ketchup works great for silver by the way 🙂.

[@rajaakhan8690]

Does it really work on Golden costume jewelry.. Mine turned rose gold.. 😢

[@jenm5904]

I know you can use toothpaste for real gold. But can you really use it on fashion jewelry? Even if it's just a little with a soft brush? I know toothpaste has a grit to it so they say dont use anything with gritty material cleaners. Please help me. Thanks

[@sabanoreen5290]

Does this work on bag chains too?

[@Pouchy17]

And could it take rust smell out of any regular old fake jewelry ?

[@corsgold813]

Ah yes I was thinking toothpaste thank you forn this.

[@dangerchildren3904]

Does this work because I'm trying to find a way to clean my only birthday gift

[@conniealford1020]

Can it be any toothpaste?? I recently bought 50 lbs of used broken jewelry and I didn't know how to clean it. Thank you for showing us how to do it. I'm going to be very busy. Thanks again.🌫️💜🌫️☯️☮️✌️

[@sharid76]

Fifty POUNDS of used, broken jewelry? Costume jewelry? Or genuine jewelry? None of these techniques are guaranteed to work on and not damage costume jewelry, and if you can afford to purchase real gold jewelry by 50 pound lots, then you can afford to invest in a commercial quality jewelry repair shop. Or at least the equipment to run it. I'm not kidding - fifty *pounds* of jewelry is the weight of 10 - 5# bags of sugar! That's the weight of your average 3 year old child! That's a LOT of jewelry, and it's highly unlikely that 50# of real jewelry would be purchased and then the buyer come on KZbin asking strangers how's the best way to clean it! If that's the case, then you've honestly got more dollars than sense. Sort it out first. And I mean sort it. Plated from unplated, anything plated from genuine, solid precious metals. Anything plated - which is probably most if not all of it - should not be scrubbed with anything abrasive. Meaning brushes or abrasive cleaning compounds, including opaque toothpastes containing any kind of abrasive compounds. It should be soaked clean in *hot* (not boiling - just hot from the tap) water and some kind of liquid dish detergent, then drained out, thoroughly rinsed, drained again and laid out on thick old towels to air dry. Then sort it again, from pieces that survived that process and those that obviously didn't. Anything that can't survive soaking in plain soapy water is a dead loss anyway, and should be discarded. There's very little else that can be done with it at that point. Don't soak anything that has parts glued on, like cheap, fake stones, or fake cameos. Any kind of stones that aren't held on by prongs, channels, or full bezels is probably glued on. Especially old - really old - rhinestones, not cubic zirconia, are probably A. glued on, and B. should be looked at by a vintage costume jewelry resource, who can tell you if they are worth saving, and shouldn't be soaked in anything. But, it's likely that by the time anybody accumulates that amount of old jewelry to begin with, all the best pieces have already been picked out of the lot. Honestly though - FIFTY pounds? 🤔🤔😐😒

[@vandini8185]

Thank you 😍

[@diannasponaugle327]

Can you do this to jewelry with gemstones in it?

[@ladyrenaissance2026]

So do you have to scrub for a while or maybe multiple times because I am using this on multiple costume pieces of gold jewelry that have tarnished and began to turn bronze and after I rinsed it off it is just now shiny bronze. What am i doing wrong??

[@MohibMughal260]

I will try about it

[@dodoalsaleh4820]

What if I bought a bracelet from Lovisa. Its supposed to be rose gold but it turned brown. Is it safe to you this?

[@Pouchy17]

Does it work for versace brass ....? More details

[@KatPlayzOn_YT]

⚠️ PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING ⚠️ It DOES NOT WORK, it makes your jewelry MORE rusty than it was before. I followed this tutorial for my best friend's birthday to have her necklace be rust free and this MADE IT WORSE. DO NOT TRY UNLESS IF YOU WANT RUSTY JEWELRY.

[@shataquamorgan2305]

Omg! Thank you! I had a gold buckle on my swimsuit that had tarnished. This method made it look much better!
