The gold jewelry can be cleaned by rinsing it with a mix of water and dish washer or ammonia. The jewelry can then be cleaned with a brush that has soft bristles so that any dirt stuck on the jewelry pieces can come off easily. The jewelry can then be kept under a running water tap to completely clean it and then dried with a soft textured fabric. If the gold jewelry has any gems or stones set into the design then the dish washer solution should be rubbed on the jewelry with the help of a cloth after which it should be cleaned with a clean moist fabric. After this method of cleaning gold jewelry, it should be placed straight side facing down, this will block any moisture to move into the crevices of the jewelry.
Cleaning gold jewelry can also be carried out with regular toothpaste. A brush with soft bristles can be used to brush toothpaste on the jewelry which removes dirt easily. This should then be cleaned with clean running water. For difficult dirt the jewelry can also be immersed in boiling water for sparkling clean results. Photos courtesy of www.funkyjewelry.org
