For this week's Thoughtless Thursday over at Katie's blog, I'd like to discuss RING CLEANING. I'll tell you how I clean mine and if your method is different, I'd LOVE to hear it!
After googling home ring cleaning and reading about 28 articles, this is what I came up with:
1. Have dirty rings
2. Soak in hot water for 15 minutes
3. Dip an old toothbrush in window/glass cleaner and scrub for several minutes
4. Re-soak ring in hot water for a few minutes5. Re-scrub with toothbrush but this time with just hot water
6. Put it in jewelry cleaner for a few minutes
7. Rinse and let dry.
8. Wear your shiny clean rings!
Head over to Life in the Fulmer Lane to play along and don't forget to tell me how you clean your rings!

Your rings are beautiful! I do almost the same thing, but I dont soak mine in hot water first... im going to try your method :)
I'm always scared to clean my own rings because I don't want to mess them up. I always just take them to the jewelry store.
I have my rings cleaned at the jewelry store. I might have to try cleaning them your way though, it seems so easy!
Im going to have to try this method! I've tried everything! Including soaking them in Vodka which a friend taught me- nothing has worked beautifully so this is worth a shot!
I love your set! Very pretty and oh so shiny!! :)
Ooh, thanks for sharing!
Very pretty rings by the way! :)
thanks for playing cute girl, and thanks for the great tutorial!!! :)
Your rings are so beautiful. I especially love your band since it looks just like mine! We must have great taste!
Very pretty and CLEAN! I LOVE windex alittle too much so I could see how putting your rings in it would clean them too. I'll have to try with my earrings.
Great ideas. I just have some cleaner I use, but I might try this next time. Thanks for the tip!
Oooo pretty rings!! :) For some reason, I loove looking at wedding rings. Personally, I think I have a diamond obsession (but don't tell my husband that! HA!)
I usually just use an old toothbrush and running hot water. Seems to clean them up okay for me. I will have to try your method though!
I was just wondering how in the heck I was going to clean my rings because right now they are so very dirty! Thanks for the great tips!
Thanks for the tips! My (soon-to-be) wedding band is almost the exact same as yours! You have good taste! :)
Ooo beautiful. Theya re so sparkling. Must be a good process
I SO need to try this :)
I totally needed to read this, going to try it tonight!!
beautiful rings!! i really need to clean mine! i'll have to try your method!
Be very careful cleaning jewelry this way!!!!! I use to work for a jewelry repair store and we would have people come in all the time with diamonds missing because of failed at home cleaning attempts. It is always better to take diamond rings to a jeweler to have them cleaned. Most do it for free and will also check the settings/prongs for free. Sometimes all it takes is one bad brush and a diamond will be knocked out of its setting...
Great tip! And gorgeous tip!
