Clean Your Earrings Today

1. Fill a small plastic bathroom cup halfway with peroxide. Place the earrings into the cup.

2. Let the earrings soak in the peroxide for at least 10 minutes. This will loosen and "boil" off most of the dirt and debris that has built up on your earrings.

3. Take the earrings out of the cleaning peroxide and place on paper towels. Use the toothpicks to remove any dirt and debris that has been left in the cracks and crevices of your earrings.

4. Allow the earrings to dry completely on the paper towels before putting them away in your jewelery box.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do not have the time to use the toothpicks on the earrings, you can let them soak over night in the peroxide.

• Wearing dirty earrings can lead to ear infections.
