The Easiest Diamond Ring Cleaner You've Ever Seen

One day while I was working, I happened to look down at my hand and spot my dull diamond ring. Disgraceful! I had let the diamond build up a subtle film of grime and hadn't even noticed it. I knew I had to make it sparkle again, but how?
I'd read this tip about using water and window cleaner in a number of places, but I was afraid to try it out. Then my friend, whose father is a jeweler, said her dad swears this trick makes his rings shine. And after giving it a go, I can say that it's definitely the best jewelry cleaner I've ever tried!
I started by grabbing my favorite window cleaner, a microwaveable glass bowl, and an old toothbrush. I soaked my ring in warmed up water with a few strong sprays of window cleaner added.
I was tempted to sit and watch the grime just wash away, but I went to make myself a cup of coffee and left it to sit for ten minutes.
A couple days later and it's still sparkling so strongly that it distracts me from work. I'm definitely trying this on my Grandmother's earrings, next!
