1 Make a soap and water mixture. Squeeze some dish soap into a bowl. Fill a bowl with warm water. Stir lightly to create a slight foam.
  • Use a mild dish soap, preferably one with natural ingredients, to avoid damaging the ring with chemicals.
  • You can also use mild hand soap, shampoo, or shower gel. Never use soaps that contain "humectants", they can leave deposits on your ring.
  • 2 Place the ring in a bowl for 15 minutes. Let the soapy water seep into the ring. It will penetrate and loosen the dust and dirt that has accumulated there.
  • 3 Remove the ring and inspect. If you still notice dirt, you need to keep cleaning it. Otherwise, you can rinse in clean water.
  • 4 Use a soft toothbrush to gently wipe the dirt off the ring. Make sure to use a soft bristled toothbrush, not a medium to hard bristle, to avoid scratching the ring. Clean lightly by poking bristles into hard-to-reach crevices.
    • If necessary, you can use a toothpick to pop the dirt out of the crevices.
  • 5 Rinse the ring in cold water.
  • 6 Put it to dry. Place the ring on a paper towel or clean cloth to dry completely.
  • Method 2 of 3: Using the Rapid Solution Method

    1. 1 Buy a quick solution designed for your type of diamond ring. Rapid solutions are commercially available solutions for quick cleaning of jewelry. Different solutions are made with different chemicals specially formulated for gold, silver and other metals. Choose a diamond ring cleaning solution.
    2. 2 Read the label carefully. When using the quick solution, it is very important to follow the instructions to avoid damaging the ring at the end. Read the instructions before use and make sure you understand.
    3. 3 Use a solution. Pour some of the solution into a bowl.Place the ring in a bowl for the recommended time, no longer. Remove the ring from the bowl and let it dry completely on a soft cloth.
      • Do not leave the ring in the solution for longer than the recommended time, otherwise you may damage it.
      • Do not touch the diamond with your fingers until it is completely dry. Your body fat can leave a film on the diamond.

    Method 3 of 3: Using an Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine

    1. 1 Choose an ultrasonic cleaner. These are small machines that make it easy to clean your jewelry in minutes. They are fairly affordable and similar to those used in jewelry stores. Look for a purifier made by a reputable company.
    2. 2 Fill the cleaner with water and detergent. Many cleaning machines have a metal mug filled with water and a cleaner that cleans your jewelry. Follow the instructions and fill the cleaning machine with the correct amount of product.
    3. 3 Place the ring in the cleaner and close it. Make sure it is properly assembled and closed properly.
    4. 4 Remove the ring after the recommended time. It should clean up in a minute or two. Do not leave for longer than necessary.
