Disclaimer is..I've never tried it, so I don't know if it works as well as he says or at all, but he says he prefers that over other home methods. Anyone else have suggested @home methods of diamond cleansing? I guess this and the ammonia methods are safe? ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

CloseUp toothpaste gel works pretty good, too. The trick to cleaning any gemstone is to use a toothbrush and clean the pavilion of the stone. This gets off any "dulling" grease or grime.

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,866 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	Hi pyramid :) Try a drop or 2 of dishwashing liquid and hot water. The dishwashing liquid will do a very good job of breaking up any grease, grit, hairspray or dirt that may attach itself to the pavilion of the diamond. After letting it soak, take an old toothbrush and scrub underneath the diamond and let the bristles of the toothbrush get between and in those prongs. Apply the appropriate amount of elbow grease, rinse and that diamond will look as good as new. Peace, Rhino Rhino Good Old Gold
