3) A Pumice Cleaning Stone to clean limescale from toilets, basins etc

5) Diamond & Gold dip/bath to clean your expensive jewellery to ensure they’re always looking their best!
Jewellery is expensive and not only gets dirty over time but also can dull, this bath softens the dirt (within 2-3 minutes) and allows you to wipe it clean. Although a cheaper alternative could be to use dish soap to soak the ring for 30 mins, then use a toothbrush to brush the dirt off.

It took a matter of minutes to clean them and I was honestly surprised at the end result. This is a fantastic product and worth every penny.” – Amazon Reviewer
