How to Clean Sterling Silver Jewellery
-
Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix mild dish soap with warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently rub the surface. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
-
Polishing Cloth: Use a specialized silver polishing cloth to maintain shine and remove light tarnish. Avoid paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch.
-
Baking Soda Paste: For stubborn tarnish, create a paste with baking soda and water. Rub gently, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
How to Clean Gold and Rose Gold Jewellery
-
Use a Soft Cloth: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth after each use to remove oils and dirt.
-
Mild Soap Solution: If deeper cleaning is needed, use mild soap and water but avoid soaking the jewellery.
-
Avoid Abrasives: Never use baking soda or toothpaste on gold pieces, as they can cause damage.
Preventing Tarnish and Damage
-
Store Properly: Keep jewellery in a tarnish-resistant pouch or airtight box. Silica gel packets can help absorb moisture.
-
Wear Regularly: Wearing sterling silver, gold, and rose gold often prevents tarnish build-up due to natural oils on the skin.
-
Avoid Moisture: Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising to prevent moisture exposure.
-
Keep Away from Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners can damage metals. Apply beauty products before wearing your jewellery.
How Often Should You Clean Your Jewellery?
-
Sterling Silver: Clean every 2-3 months or when tarnish appears.
-
Gold and Rose Gold: Clean lightly after every few wears to maintain shine.
