Using Steam
One simple and easy way to clean mustard stains off of your jewelry is by using steam. To get started, place a pot of water on your stove and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the pot sit on the stove for a few minutes. Place your jewelry on a rack that is safe to be exposed to steam, such as a metal colander, and lower the rack over pot of hot water. Cover the pot with a lid and let the jewelry steam for 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of metal used. When finished, use a soft cloth to remove any stains left behind.
Baking Soda Solution
Another useful method to remove mustard stains from jewelry is to create a baking soda solution. First, mix two parts baking soda and one part water together in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it forms a paste-like consistency. Then, coat the jewelry with the baking soda paste and let it sit for 20 minutes. Finally, rinse the jewelry with cold water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
White Vinegar Bath
Finally, a white vinegar bath is an effective way to clean mustard stains from your jewelry. To begin, fill a bowl with warm water and add one teaspoon of white vinegar. Soak the jewelry in the bowl for 10-15 minutes. After soaking, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away any remaining mustard stains. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with a cloth.
Conclusion
Mustard stains on jewelry can be unsightly, but fortunately, there are several methods you can use to clean them. Using steam, a baking soda solution, or a white vinegar bath can all be effective ways to restore shine of your jewelry and make it good as new!
