IMPORTANT INFORMATION
For diamond rings with settings in gold, silver, or platinum, this technique proves to be quite efficient. However, if you happen to own an antique piece or one adorned with colorful, porous, or treated stones, it's best to steer clear of the Windex solution.
Also, don't forget to wear gloves while cleaning your jewels!
1. INSPECT YOUR RING
Before we jump into the cleaning process, take a moment to examine your diamond ring. Any cracks, chips, or other issues? Hold off on the cleaning and get those fixed by a jeweler first.
2. REMOVE ANY DIRT OR BUILD-UP WITH WINDEX
Spray a good amount of Windex over your rings in a small dish, making sure they are well-covered.
Give it a gentle swirl to cover all areas.
Let the Windex sit for a bit, then use a soft toothbrush to scrub away any dirt.
Rinse under lukewarm water and pat dry with your lint-free cloth.
3. USE A SOLUTION MIX FOR EXTRA PROTECTION
Feeling a bit extra? Here's an optional step:
Mix Windex and hydrogen peroxide in a 50/50 ratio in a small dish.
Let your ring soak in the mixture for 10–15 minutes. This combo helps tackle bacteria and any remaining dirt.
Lightly brush your ring with a toothbrush.
Rinse and dry.
