Cheap Jewelry Cleaner: How to clean fake jewelry 

I just needed to say thank you with more than just a thumbs up. I bough a cheep princess tiara for my girlfriend like 4 years ago. It got really rusted over the years. I Tried cleaning it with a more complicated method but it just didn't work. I tried this and it looks like new. She is now planing on wearing it for our wedding in a few months. So thanks again this was a huge help.

Just a little tip, if you buy pretend silver or gold, after wearing it, make sure you put it away in a little seal plastic bag, a small sandwich bag will do, flattening it so that there is little air left in there. I have found that they does not tarnish then. This also applies to silver chains or pendants. Something else if you are cleaning as above in the sink, make sure you put the plug in so if any small parts break off while cleaning, you can save them.

If it turns your skin green like a ring or something, put a coat or two of clear nail polish on the inside of the ring. It should stop it from doing so. Hope it helps

Great tip. The baking soda foil hot water combo works on silver I had badly tarnished silver and it comes up like new!

OMG thank u sooooo much for this video. I've been throwing away all my fake/tarnished jewelry and constantly replacing it. You are soo going to save me a ton of money! Thanks again!

Yay, thank you. This method restored a necklace my daughter gave me as a Mothers Day gift, bought at Kohls. We previously had sour faces when it got drab but now we are smiling again :)

7 years ago and Your still freaking awesome with this informative information

Oh my god feels so good seeing one of your initial videos. I have been following you for 4 yrs I guess and I so enjoy your videos

My mom was throwing her earring out. Me: MOM DON'T DO THIS! I AM GONNA RESCUE THEM! Me: Comes to video.

I have heard of the toothpaste one before but for the jewelry I was trying to clean today this did not work but mixing white vinegar salt and water in a bowl and scrubbing it with a toothbrush worked Miracles hope this helps

This is a life saver. I used to throw away my old jewelry but now I'll definitely clean them like this!!! Thanx!!!

starts method at 3:11 - use toothpaste and scrub with toothbrush, then rinse and dry well right away.

I tried this right after I watched the video above and IT WORKED!!! I couldn't believe it. I purchased a necklace from Urban Outfitters for like, $16 a couple months ago. It's a thin chain with a small "gold" bar (that's really made of "mixed metal", it's says on their website). It has a small 'a' on it for my daughter's name, anyway, it became tarnished-like more dark then gold colored. It looked grossed so I haven't worn it for awhile... :( This toothpaste+toothbrush+scrubbing method worked really well, and it's super easy; no time at all. It's not as shiny as it used to be (as expected, I suppose), but the varnish disappeared! I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. The only tip I have is be careful with inexpensive jewelry when scrubbing, don't do it too hard! Thanks for listening!!!

Wow! I didn't know this one. Thank you for sharing!

I just wanted to say thank you very very much for refreshing my memory on how to clean cheap jewelry you really saved my butt with my wife's pendant that she has because I put it in the wrong cleaner because she told me it was real silver but it actually wasn't and she was devastated when it got tarnished but with this method I was able to bring it back to life so thank you very much again I liked the video and subscribed to your channel and I also hit the notification bell as well !!!! And p.s. this method made the pendant look alot better than when we first had purchased the pendant so thanks a million 😊

Quick, to the point, and so helpful!! Thank you💎

I have never thanked anyone for a google tip until now. But you sererve it!!!! Your toothpaste method for cleaning base metal jewelry made two beautiful ankle bracelets I bought in India for 2 USD each!!!!! look like sterling silver as they did the day I bought them 1 1/2 years ago! MIRACLE

You can also blow-dry jewelry (on low) after you've hand dried it, works like a charm :)

It worked! I was skeptical that it wouldn’t work on my cheap jewelry that tarnished by my humidifier over the winter months. But it got rid of it all! Here’s a tip though: wear gloves, or else your hands will feel a bit minty from the toothpaste 🤣 my hands are tingling

Thank you very much! Twas a great demonstration 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No, but this seriously worked for my glasses. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have been looking for eearings like the silver hoops with the dangles. The first ones you cleaned. Where oh where did u get those. :) thank u so much for this video. Very helpful.
