Hi bomber,

Is the gold tarnished or just needs a clean? If it's tarnished place some scrunched up tin foil in a dish. Then add some soda crystals and pour on hot water. Immerse the item so that it comes into contact with the tin foil. Leave it for a few minutes, then rinse, dry and polish. I don't know why it works but it does.

If it's not tarnished but just needs a good clean, put some stardrops or washing up liquid into a dish, add warm water and leave the item overnight. In the morning give it a good brush with an old toothbrush and it'll be sparkling.

i just had to add my tuppence worth. i today thought id give my wedding ring a clean, shouldnt have scrubbed at it with a pot scourer though.
i found a v old bottle of goddards brass and copper cleaner. rubbed it over ring, buffed it with a cloth, and looks like new!! did the same to my hubs ring who thought id swapped it with a new one lol. my ring is 9ct not sure if you can do it to all golds?

If it's tarnished it isn't gold Gold is chosen for wedding rings and the like as it is almost completely unreactive.

If it's a bit grubby, give it a polish with a soft cloth. Rings with jewels set in can be carefully cleaned with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water.
