What people are saying about Simple Shine...

★★★★★ Beautiful Shine and Glow
Just received this jewelry cleaner and have used it to clean two pair of earrings, 1 pr of diamond studs, beautiful shine and glow, 1 pair of sliver and gold tone hoops, really tarnished and they came out looking like new. So far all is good. -Doris W.

★★★★★ Solid Leather Conditioner
My shoes are abused every winter. They end up with salt and grime on them. I have tried to keep them as shiny as possible, but they still ended up with a slight haziness. I was skeptical about using yet another product, but I am pleased I tried this. The shoes lost the haze and the “black” was brought back. It also doesn’t have a weird chemical smell. It smells like it might use essential oils. That was a plus for me, because I have never been a fan of chemical smells. -Narais L.

★★★★★ Works like a charm!
Wonderful (non-smelly) product! I've used it for my ruby ring - brightened it up considerably, and helped get the gunk out of the setting. Also used it for my gold band. Great results - love that it's environmentally friendly. Would definitely re-purchase (but this will likely last years). -Diane

★★★★★ Very Well Made!
These shoe stretchers are surprisingly well made. I bought them to see if I could do something about an ill-fitting but expensive pair of hiking boots and they seem to be helping. I'm still in the process of stretching the boots but every day they seem to be better. If you need shoe stretchers, you can't go wrong with these! -Jay S.

★★★★★ Great Oversized Cleaning Cloth For Jewelry
This simple shine cleaning cloth arrived in a nice clear see-through package. It has 4 layers of cleaning cloth sewed together. I usually use outer side clothes to clean the jewelry first then use inner side clothes to do the final polish. When I received this cleaning I went ahead and cleaned a couple of my fairly new earrings. Surprisingly, even my silver earrings are quite new, after polished you can still see the different. I did not add any chemical when to do the cleaning. I only use cleaning cloth did the job. I really amazed by it can clean my silver earrings quick and nice. Great product. -Maria H.

★★★★★ Worth the Higher Cost!
Have used other shine sponges with varying degrees of effectiveness. One brand looked nice on application but left a waxy dull crackled appearance. Was very unhappy. Am so glad I purchased this product. Does what I always hoped a neutral shine sponge would. Seldom ever review a product but this sponge is great. With what it did for my shoes, will comfortably use on some seriously expensive purses. -Richard H.

★★★★★ Works better than expected
I polish my gold necklace withing a few rubs I notice the brilliance and smoothness come back. This product works better than I expected! I am extremely happy with this purchase. I didn't even use a polish gel or any other material. This works! The cloth is extra long and comes packaged beautifully. Very fine materials and has a luxury feel to it. -Blossom

★★★★★ Good Results and Pretty Handy
Handy and inexpensive --- I bought some Simple Shine shoe cream to compliment --- awesome results on my leather shoes and boots. -Amanda K.

★★★★★ Shined up my silver and gold; didn't damage opals, lapis, emerald & pearls
The jar solutions I have had in the past have that ammonia and the chemical used to permanent wave hair. I bought Simple Shine Solution and was quite pleased at how - with just a little scrubbing with the included brush - shined up my silver and gold. It also took off the soapy film (from hand washing and showering with jewelry on) off of my gemstones and brought back the high sparkle. I also had a very tarnished bowl that was handed down in the family. I put a little of this solution in a spray bottle, sprayed the bowl, let it sit, used the brush, and the sterling silver is now sparkling. Much easier than polish paste that requires so much elbow grease! -Janet K

★★★★★ Better than advertised
I was always looking for a replacement to my old Suede Brush tool that I left in a hotel room. So I decided to look online to find another brush just like I had because I liked it. Well, once I found this "kit", I decided to give it a try. And how thankful I am that I did. A wonderful product from a small business. The type of business I like to support. The kit is better than my old brush because it not only has a cleaner, but also two different brushes for specific needs. I have 6 pair of bucks of all shapes and sizes, from boots to oxfords. They all new brand new now and I couldn't be happier. -Charles E.
