Hi Jessica

    I hate to make you go out and spend some money, but I would advise
    you to get a simple ultrasonic cleaner. You should also look into
    setting up a basic pickle pot as well. For a pickle pot, I just use a
    small slow cooker ( crock pot, or what ever name it goes by ), set on
    low....I got from a department store for about $15.00. I have used it
    for years, and I do a very large volume of stuff. I just use a sparex
    compound and it works good for both gold, and silver. The ultrasonic
    is almost essential to get the still soft, and also the solidified
    borax compound off your items, in a timely manor. 

Good Luck
