The Correct Way To Clean Your Jewelry
If your jewelry is looking a little dull, it might be time to give it a good clean. Over time dirt, grime and even oils from your skin are deposited on your jewelry, and these need to be cleaned off. But you need to find the right jewelry cleaner for the job, because not all cleaners are as effective on different types of jewelry.
There are plenty of places where you can buy jewelry cleaner. Certainly your local jewelry store or discount jewelry warehouse will have a few options for sale. There’s almost always a jewelry-cleaning booth!
One thing to look for is the consistency of the jewelry cleaner. Consistency doesn’t always indicate whether or not a cleaner will work properly, but quite often the thicker consistency cleaners work a little better, mainly because they scrub the jewelry as well as clean it. Many stores will demonstrate their cleaning products to you, so ask them to show you a couple of different types of cleaner.
If you’re really worried about cleaning your jewelry yourself, you can ask your jewelry store to clean it for you. Sometimes they will do it for free, particularly if it’s part of a jewelry cleaner demonstration, and other times they will charge you a small amount. Perhaps you’re not comfortable leaving your jewelry at the store, but they don’t sell any cleaning products.
If you want to clean costume jewelry, particularly antique costume jewelry, then you do need to be careful in your choice of cleaning product. Many cleaners are designed to clean metal and precious stones, but can actually damage your precious costume jewelry.
Try cleaning your costume jewelry gently with water and a very soft toothbrush. If you’re careful, you can avoid chipping the paint and the glue won’t be weakened by any cleaning products.
We often become very attached to our favorite jewelry, but over time any piece of jewelry becomes a little the worse for wear and needs a clean. Take the time to find the right jewelry cleaner, and you’ll soon have your favorite pieces sparkling like new again.
