After: It’s believed a chemical reaction occurs between the baking soda and silver when the hot water is added, removing any dirt and leaving the rings looking sparkling clean (pictured)
‘All you need is a bowl of any kind, pop in some alfoil in the bottom, baking soda and then put in your jewellery,’ Emma said.
‘You can use this on earrings, necklaces, anything with real diamonds or fake diamonds, just as long as it’s 925 [sterling silver].’
She then added boiling water from the kettle directly over the jewellery and let it the baking soda ‘work its magic’.
It’s believed a chemical reaction occurs between the baking soda and silver when the hot water is added, which removes any dirt and leaves the rings looking sparkling clean.
In the comments Emma also revealed another hack to ensure the jewellery is clean but not damaged during the process.
She recommended using a toothbrush to carefully clean each piece followed by a polishing cloth.
‘I work at Pandora and the best way is to soak it in warm soapy water and scrub gently with a toothbrush! Use our polishing cloth, it’s how we do it!’ she wrote.
Pandora, which has store locations around Australia, offer free cleaning services to polish their products customers own.
Since being published, the video has been viewed a staggering 948,000 times and received hundreds of comments.
‘How amazing!’ one person wrote, another added: ‘Toothpaste also works great.’
