What You'll Need:

  • Cotton swabs or Q-tips
  • Polishing cloth or silver cleaner (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix a few drops of mild liquid dish soap with lukewarm water in a bowl or cup.
  2. Dip a soft cloth or an old toothbrush into the mixture and gently scrub the shoe polish stain.
  3. Have patience as this process may take awhile to complete. Use a cotton swab or Q-tip to get into tricky spots.
  4. Once the stain is removed, rinse your jewelry with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.

Additional Tips:

  • Always test a small area before using any cleaning solutions on valuable jewelry.

  • Jewelry made of gold or silver may require special cleaning solutions. Consult a professional if necessary.
