TMR Frugal Living Tip #11

Today's thrifty tip is clean your jewelry with toothpaste. This works wonderful and a huge tube of Ultra-Brite is 88 cents at my Wal-Mart. Even a tube at a dollar is cheap and will last for months. The expensive cleaners are at least $4.00 a box. I just use an old toothbrush or a cheap 50 cent one from the store. My rings come out sparkling, but just be sure to close the sink drain before cleaning.

Another great and frugal ring cleaner is amonia. My jeweler recommended one part amonia one part water. Soak for a couple minutes then scrub with old toothbrush. RIng comes out sparkling like new!
