🧼 DIY Non-Toxic Jewelry Cleaner
🧂 Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon non-toxic dish soap (like Branch Basics or Attitude)
- 1 cup warm water
- Optional: A soft-bristle toothbrush or cloth for extra scrubbing
📝 Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, baking soda, and dish soap. Stir gently to dissolve.
- Place your jewelry pieces into the solution. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes.
- After soaking, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub any stubborn dirt or grime.
- Rinse under warm water and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
