How to Clean Jewelry at Home?

Like anything else, jewelry also gets dirty and its shine or sparkle may be dulled because of dirt.

Dirt from everyday things like lotion, makeup, body sweat, and dust are just a few things that can contribute to jewelry’s dirt.

This is why you should learn how to clean your jewelry so that it will stay shiny and sparkling all the time.

Different types of jewelry require specific cleaning methods and products to ensure they stay exceptional.

If you're unsure about how to clean your jewelry or what cleaners to use, it's best to consult a jeweler beforehand to avoid damaging your precious pieces.

For gold and diamond jewelry, a simple solution of dishwashing soap and warm water is usually sufficient to clean them.

Mix the dishwashing liquid with warm water and soak the jewelry for a few minutes. Then, use a soft brush to gently scrub away dirt, and dry it with a polishing cloth.

Avoid using harsh cleaning products or a stiff brush, as they can scratch gold jewelry. Diamonds are delicate, so be careful when cleaning them.

Meanwhile, for silver jewelry, there are special silver polishes available in jewelry stores and online.

Apply the silver polish with a polishing cloth and gently scrub it onto the silver jewelry until it shines brightly.
