If you regularly bring your jewellery to the original retailer for cleaning, perhaps you’d also like to throw some cash in this big fire pit I just created. You don’t need those guys! All you need is some washing-up liquid (or dish soap, as we call it in the US).

From Readers Digest:

“ Gold may not tarnish like silver, but over time it develops a dull film from lotions, soaps, and the oils secreted by your skin. To revive the luster of gold jewellery, clean it regularly in a bowl of warm water mixed with a squirt of mild dishwashing liquid. After a brief soak, gently scrub the gold jewellery using a soft toothbrush. Rinse under warm running water (careful of the drain—to be safe, put it in a wire tea strainer).
