DIY: Jewelry Cleaner

More from my DIY adventures. 

I may have gotten this idea from this DIY YouTube Video - How to Remove Tarnish from Silver Jewelry, not sure, but I don't use the suggested aluminum foil and my process is different.
 
 
DIY: Jewelry Cleaner
 

Ingredients:

Small glass jar or bowl
1/2 Cup hot water
1 Tspn Baking soda
Several shakes from salt shaker
 
 
Process:

Add ingredients to a small glass jar.
Stir well.
Add silver jewelry.
Stir occasionally after several minutes.
Wait a few minutes and stir again.
Check jewelry to see if they need to remain in the cleaning solution longer.
When ready, scoop out pieces and place in a cup of water.
Remove then dry and rub pieces with clean cloth.
Let items air dry before returning to storage.

DIY: Coffee Stain Remover

I thank the "Gentlemen's Gazette" YouTube Channel for this idea and many more.

We all have our little pet peeves. One of mine is coffee in the morning. I struggled for months trying to figure how to make a cup of coffee without spillage. Sounds silly.

 I have almost nailed it. I, now, use a large commuter coffee cup with a screw on lid. But, if I did not screw the lid on in an exact manner, it would leak when I took a sip, so I have stained a lot of tops. I am more careful, now, so I usually do not have any spillage.

But, when I had a spill recently, I found the Gentlemen's Gazette's video on clothing stains and how to remove them.


Spray coffee stain with rubbing alcohol, blot with cloth, then hand wash garment.

I tried the advice for removing coffee stains and it worked!!!
