This simple and easy to make homemade jewelry cleaner is how I keep all of my jewelry clean. You’ll only need a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
With only 4 household ingredients, this DIY jewelry cleaner is a frugal option too. I like that it doesn’t use harsh chemicals or ingredients.
Most of my jewelry has been handed down to me by my grandmother and I wouldn’t want to use anything on it that could potentially damage it.
Using clean ingredients on jewelry is better for me too; I don’t want gross chemicals on my skin!
Get ready to clean your gold jewelry and silver jewelry to a sparkly shine.
What Ingredients You Need to Make Homemade Jewelry Cleaner

- Water
If you have hard water you may want to use filtered for this recipe.

How to Make Homemade Jewelry Cleaner
Gather your ingredients and equipment together.
Heat water in microwave for one minute.
Add in salt, baking soda, and castile soap.
Mix thoroughly.
Pour in small containers.
Place jewelry into mixture for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from mixture, run under warm water, and gently scrub and clean with soft bristled brush (I often use a soft toothbrush), if desired.
Rinse well with hot water and thoroughly dry the jewelry pieces with a soft cloth.
Discard cleaning solution mixture leftovers.
I do not use a piece of aluminum foil, though I know others do. I have not seen a need for it as this makes my jewelry perfectly clean all by itself.
Variations for DIY Jewelry Cleaner
- Use mild dish soap instead of the castile soap (like blue Dawn)
