Some ladies will take it off when they get home from work and forget to put it on again; others won\u2019t let it out of their sight for a second. Which ever type you fall into, you\u2019re precious ring will need some maintaining from time-to-time. That means taking care of your ring and keeping it super sparkly!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few methods on how to clean your engagement ring:<\/p>\n<h2>Vodka<\/h2>\n<p>Apparently this is a method that Drew Barrymore swears by. Simply soak your ring in a tumbler for an hour or so and brush any grime lightly away with a tooth brush. This isn\u2019t a method that needs to be done daily (before you go stocking up on Smirnoff) but it can be handy for special events.<\/p>\n<h2>Baking Soda<\/h2>\n<p>Is there anything that baking soda can\u2019t clean? This mild and no abrasive agent is a great option for anyone who is worried about being too coarse with their ring. Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. Gently rub this paste into your ring, concentrating on the setting. This will clean your ring without causing major damage to any metals. Simply dry and polish with a lint free cloth.<\/p>\n<h2>Detergent<\/h2>\n<p>With 1 part mild dishwashing detergent and three parts warm water; take a soft or used toothbrush and gently scrub the stone of your ring. This is a really good way to eliminate oils from lotions. Leave overnight is your ring is especially dirty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via <a title=\"Etsy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ie\/listing\/90254465\/simple-diamond-engagement-ring?ref=sr_gallery_17&amp;ga_search_query=engagement+ring&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=ZZ&amp;ga_search_type=all\">Etsy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to an engagement ring \u2013 everyone is different.
