Hey members,

First post here and I've decided to instead of a asking for help or saying a mere "hello, how do you do" that I share with you, perhaps known to many, but rather an insightful discovery to myself this morning and that is to use an electric toothbrush with a small hint of baking soda to clean our beloved watches/jewels. The result IMO is superior to any ultrasonic cleaning I've seen thus far.

Will followup with a 'Hello' post shortly after.

Hi and Welcome,

Need to clean my jubilee bracelet, soap and water just not doing the job with this intricate bracelet. Will look to using a soft brush, maybe a toothbrush.

Thanks for posting, hope you enjoy your stay.

Welcome!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 2 October 2011, 04:49 AM

Interesting!

Only a small amount of baking soda.

cheers:

Thanks for the kind welcomes.

BTW, how does one implement a signature below each post? I've searched and didn't see such option in the User CP page.

Wouldn't the baking soda act as an abrasive?

masterserg · 2 October 2011, 07:53 AM

Welcome. Signature might have to be enabled by the Mods.

z32turbo · 2 October 2011, 08:05 AM

Interesting. Never thought of that before.

No, baking soda is a fine crystalline powder that is water soluble.

Just don't use it on Aluminum (it removes the rust layer, which you don't want to happen. Al is a funny metal, the more rust the stronger and scratch resistant it becomes) and also don't leave a watch overnight in a baking soda solution. But for a quick cleaning, a tad bit of baking soda with a few drops of water to create a paste like solution does wonders without harming your non-Aluminum watch/jewelries!

Guess the Mods would have to enable the option as I don't see it listed. Good call.

Welcome to TRF

Never thought of an electric toothbrush but I do use a regular one with warm water and soap and it works perfectly.

gwalker · 2 October 2011, 01:29 PM

Great info. I'll try that sometime!!!

SPARTAN2161 · 2 October 2011, 02:00 PM

Signatures

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to let everyone know that from now on, to qualify for a signature you need to have at least 15 post and 15 days membership on the forum.

This new rule/initiative is as a result of spammers putting garbage links in their signatures.

Welcome and enjoy.

Maybe use floss to get between the bezel and the case ?
