To get the jewelry as sparkling as new, mix two cups of Windex with two drops of any dishwashing soap in a glass container. Microwave the mix for a minute and soak the pieces of jewelry for 10 minutes.

Remove and wipe with a microfiber cloth to see them shine as bright as new.

This one is especially for teachers and mothers. Using a dry-erase board is difficult as the previous work is usually visible despite cleaning it repeatedly.
