Please tell me how I can make my gold jewelry look new by giving a simple cleaning and electrolysis process in the house using some electrolyte and battery charger ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] in the house purely for home use

It is not really necessary to use an electrolytic process. Polishing works better. Because gold is soft, you probably have scratches. There are certain polishes that are good for gold. An internet search of such a product will help you. If the gold is just dirty, ultrasonic jewelry cleaners ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] with the cleaning solution included are very reasonable in price.
