Vinegar and salt solution

Another effective life hack is to create a solution of vinegar and salt. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and salt to make a cleaning mixture. Immerse the jewelry in this solution for about 15 minutes to allow the vinegar to dissolve the dirt and darken it, and the salt to act as an abrasive. Afterwards, rinse the jewelry with water and wipe it with a clean cloth to give it a shiny finish.

Toothpaste

Use a non-gel toothpaste to clean gold and silver jewelry. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a soft cloth or toothbrush and gently scrub the jewelry, paying special attention to tarnished areas. Rinse the jewelry with water and dry it thoroughly to restore its former shine.
