* Pour a mild cleaner, like dishwashing liquid, on to the gold jewelry. Make sure to pour some extra amount on the tarnished part of the jewelry.
* Gently rub the tarnished part with your finger. In case the tarnish is tough and does not get removed, use a soft bristle brush for cleaning the jewelry.
* After cleaning with the mild cleaner, rinse the jewelry with warm water.
* Dry the jewelry using a soft cotton cloth. Before putting it back into the jewelry box, it is advisable to lay it flat for a minimum of 24 hours. This will ensure proper drying of the jewelry.

Another Method

* You can get the ultrasonic machine at home, to clean the tarnished gold jewelry.
* Pour the cleansing liquid into the machine to clean the dirt and tarnishes off the jewelry. You can make the cleansing liquid at home, by mixing 95% ammonia with liquid dish soap.
* Once the cleansing liquid is poured and machine is set on, ultrasonic sound waves will be radiated, which will eventually break up the dirt and tarnished portions of the gold.
* You will get absolutely clean jewelry, with no scratches on it.


Tips

* Avoid using baking soda, toothpaste or any type of tough cleaners on gold. Since gold is a soft metal, using these things might cause scratches.
* Take proper care of your gold jewelry. Clean it at frequent intervals, to make it stay shining for a longer duration of time.
* Always keep gold jewelry in a protected case, so as to avoid any scratching from the surrounding material.
* Though while cleaning the gold jewelry you will need warm water, avoid its regular exposure to warm water. Do not wear gold jewelry while taking hot shower for a long duration of time.
