Cleaning hacks across the internet claim to transform your jewellery to look as good as new. However, could these tips be causing more harm than good?
Social media is flooded with cleaning tips to keep your belongings in tip top shape and there are also a mountain of hacks which claim to get your jewels sparkling, as they become tarnished after years of wear.
The hashtag “cleaninghacks” has over 7 billion views on TikTok with many content creators sharing their most valuable ways to save people time and money. Some of these involve typical household items like baking soda, but others are more unusual such as beer and ketchup.
One expert has warned that some of these tips are actually damaging your accessories. Robert Cuomo, Managing Director of Hatton Jewellers, has shared his expert advice on some of the more popular jewellery cleaning hacks which are circulating online.
One video that has recently seen over 170,00 views on the platform is a “jewellery cleaning hack” where gold plated jewellery is cleaned with hot water, bicarbonate soda and salt.
But Robert is urging jewellery lovers to steer clear of this home made solution. He said: “The ingredients in this self-cleaning solution can be abrasive, especially baking soda which could scratch your jewellery if used to clean, this can be harmful particularly if it is a hollow piece of jewellery.
"A high volume of salt can also be corrosive on the alloys.”
Another popular go to is white vinegar & bicarbonate of soda. While vinegar has been hailed as a tough tackle for grease, it should not be used on jewellery.
“Vinegar is slightly acidic which may cause damage to plated jewellery and bicarbonate of soda can be abrasive which may scratch precious metals”, explained Robert.

John Oliver, host of the satirical TV news show Last Week Tonight, has gone viral for a pro-trans speech he made during his October 16 show.During the segment, Oliver discussed the fight for trans rights, with a focus on how conservatives have “truly lost their minds” about it. The host of the Emmy-winning series started by stating that over 100 anti-trans bills have been introduced in states across the United States, with 12 states signing them into law. Oliver went on to talk about the tactic used by conservatives to explain the rise in kids identifying as trans as “due to social contagion” or a “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” which Oliver said is, “total horseshit.”Oliver then pointed out that “there is ample evidence of gender variance throughout human history and as far back as historians have found evidence of trans people, they found trans children. “And, to the extent that some young people are just exploring their gender identity, how exactly is that a bad thing? Who the fuck are they hurting?“Watching the conversation around this, it is hard not to feel like, to the extent that there is any social contagion here, it is among adults who have whipped themselves into such a frenzy that they can find themselves repeating some humiliating nonsense.”Holy shit pic.twitter.com/jAxYqytO8M— Ari Drennen (@AriDrennen) October 17, 2022Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs Sunday nights and can be watched on Binge. © Star Observer 2022 | For the latest in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTIQ) news in Australia, be sure to visit
