I clean mine 2 ways..
1. get a toothbrush, put a small dab or toothpaste on it, and I brush my diamond.
2. soak my ring in warm water+dish washing soap and then brush it with a toothbrush.
I prefer #1 though because it's faster.

I just use one of those jars of cleaner from the jewelry store. I let it soak for 15 minutes or so and then use the little brush. I used to be so good about cleaning it every week - now I'm lucky if I think of it every 3 months or so!
-
lol I bring it back to the store every few months and get it cleaned there for free
-
I take it to the jeweler for professional cleaning. You can't soak or scrub an emerald!
-
I soak in a little bowl with hot water with a few sprays of Windex for 10ish minutes! Try it!
-
I have jewelry cleaner with a basket so I stick my rings in the container, give it a whirl, then rinse under warm water while using the brush to get any dirt out.
-
I take it to the jewelry store and they clean it for free. Or I'll use a spray my jeweler gave me and use it with a toothbrush.
-
I take it to the jewelry store also.
-
Brush it with a toothbrush and toothpaste, like you!
-
Hot water with dish soap and a few spritzes of Windex, then a gentle scrub with a soft toothbrush. But, not very often.
-
I usually do the hot water with dish soap method every month, but I also have done a wash with vinegar and hydrogen peroxide since one of my rings gives me a rash every so often. This helps to get whatever gunk is stuck in it and the rash magically goes away!
-
I'm awful, I bring it in riiiiiiight at the 6-month mark (I need to bring it in every 6 months to keep my "warranty" active). I should probably get better with this!
-
I use an old head from my Sonicare toothbrush and soap and that totally does the trick really nicely!
I figure if it can get plaque off my teeth super well, it would work on the grime on my diamond! =D
-
#2! with a baby toothbrush. I honestly think I do a better job than the jewelers. The one time she used a paper towel to dry it off. !!!!
@ms.janedoe: eek I haven't done that in soooo long.
-
i do the same as your #1 method ... super simple, quick and effective
-
When I'm at the mall, I drop it off at the jewelers.
-
Jewelry store. I'm too lazy to clean it myself. lol
-
Be careful with the the toothpaste, my jeweler said its a no-no for diamonds.
I usually just use hot water and windex.
-
I take mine into a jewelry store to get it cleaned. Been awhile, though.
-
haha i had never cleaned it until last week! (just over 2 years...) honestly i didn't know you could clean them at home, and never bothered to bring it in. BUT then my friend got a sonic jewelry cleaner and we tried it out: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=pd_sl_lirjex3wu_e?ie=UTF8&keywords=sonic+jewellery+cleaner&tag=googcana-20&index=aps&hvadid=15609924582&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17094451402015595674&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e
the diamond is sooooo shiny again! crazy!
-
windex, hot water, and a splash of lemon
-
Jewelry store for free cleaning and check or the little cleaning solution they gave and let it soak, scrub with brush, and it's shiny and new.
-
toothbrush & soap!
-
toothbrush and water usually. When the platinum gets all dinged up I take it in to be polished by the jeweler.
-
My moms jeweler told me to soak my rings in warm soapy water using Palmolive dish soap. Then brush with a baby toothbrush and it's all done. But instead I just put some dish soap on the toothbrush and brush it with warm water and rinse. So now I just keep a little bottle of Palmolive dish soap in my bathroom. Eight years later my ring is still super sparkly and I still get compliments about how sparkly it is. Makes me happy.
-
I use a jar cleaner from our jewelry store & also take it in every once in awhile for a professional cleaning
-
I always take it back to the jeweler and have them clean it for free!
I figure if it can get plaque off my teeth super well, it would work on the grime on my diamond! =D
