2. Put a teabag
and boiling
water in a
clean jar.
Wait an hour or
so for it to cool
down, then
remove the
teabag.

3. Put metal
items you
want to clean
into the jar.
ONLY put solid
metal things in –
not batteries,
electronics, whole
watches, etc.

4. After a few
hours, take
out each
metal item.
Be careful not to
forget tiny things
such as watch
stems or washers.

5. Scrub the
items with a
toothbrush
and rinse with
water.
If you do this over
the sink, be sure
to put the plug in
first!

6. Pat the items
dry and leave
in a warm
place.
Wait a few hours
before
reassembling, to
remove all
moisture.

7. That’s it! The parts should be clean and sparkling.
You may need to use a toothpick for really stubborn bits of dirt.

8. This method is not perfect but it is effective.
Note that it’s not strong enough to remove bits of rust.
