I have a confession to make: I used to take off my engagement and wedding rings ALL the time, which usually raised a few eyebrows amongst my other married friends.
Why? I wasn't having an affair, don't worry. I just couldn't bear them getting dirty or gunky so I would take them off every time I put on hand cream, washed my hands, went swimming etc.
That was then though and now I don't have to as I've found the perfect solution: an ultrasonic cleaner, which uses ultrasonic waves to help clean your jewellery using vibrations to dislodge oil, dirt and everything in between. You've probably seen them as you scroll threw your FYP, completely transforming dirty jewellery into shiny, new pieces once again.
So, how do ultrasonic jewellery cleaners work? You just pop your jewellery into the basket (it also works for waterproof watches and glasses too), fill it with water and set the machine to run for under two minutes. Then, the jewellery comes up clean and looks as good as new. Seriously!
It's basically a smaller version of what they use in jewellery shops, and I tell you, my engagement ring has never looked so sparkly. Keep scrolling to shop the exact jewellery cleaning machine I use below.

This jewellery cleaner gets so much use in my house, and my husband even uses it to clean his glasses. The 750ml machine generates 40kHz with 35W power of ultrasonic waves output for a powerful yet gentle clean and won't damage your valuables while keeping them looking like new. Plus, at just over £30, you really can't go wrong.
The jewellery cleaning machine above is the one I actually use and love, but of course, there are other options on the market. I have scoured Amazon to find a few other alternatives, which all also happen to have good reviews after several thousand ratings, so you can rest assured you are getting a useful product.

Of course, while jewellery cleaning machines are a brilliant way to keep your most precious pieces clean, they can only do so much alone. Our Junior Shopping Editor Valeza worked in jewellery for years, so knows a thing or two about the best jewellery cleaning products to get the best results.
Whether you're tackling tarnishing rather than dirt, or want to get a really impressive sparkle on your diamonds, she's rounded up the best jewellery cleaning products to take your deep-clean that one step further.
First things first, you need a good jewellery polishing cloth. Often, jewellery looks darker because it's tarnished, rather than actually dirty, so a simple rub of a high-quality cloth will bring back its original shine. This highly-rated cloth works on both silver and gold jewellery.
Boost the effectiveness of your cleaner with this ultrasonic cleaning fluid. Sure, you can use water, but this liquid is safe for use on jewellery and helps the vibrations from your machine work even harder.
This jewellery cleaner is perfect for more delicate jewellery that you wouldn't want to run the risk of damaging - I'm talking solid gold and pearl-adorned pieces. You pop your necklace ring or bracelet onto the ledge and dip it into the liquid for 30 seconds, scrubbing any dirt away with the mini toothbrush-like tool that comes with the kit. It's the exact cleaner I used on high price point pieces when I worked in jewellery.
Speaking of toothbrush-like tools, they're the best for dislodging dirt through manual scrubbing. This set is originally intended for cleaning grout, but you can keep a separate set for your jewellery - it includes 3 brushes of varying sizes and softness depending on how delicate the piece you're cleaning is.
This bestselling Dazzle Stik will give your diamonds an unreal shine. The handy pen packaging makes it super easy to travel with.
