Kitchen Short Cuts: Make Your Own Jewelry Cleaner

I am calling this one a kitchen short cut because I am always cooking or cleaning.  The rings either come off or get gunked up. Yep…I used the word gunked. I was sitting (at the kitchen table) the other day and looked down at my hands.  Besides my chipped nail polish, which I need to take off, I noticed my rings were dirty.

I threw together this simple concoction that does the trick every time! Once they have soaked for a little bit I just take and old toothbrush to get in the nooks and crannies and voila! They are sparkly clean.
