To clean your jewellery, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Soak your jewellery in the soapy water for a few minutes and then use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub it. Rinse the jewellery under lukewarm running water and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
For gold jewellery, you can also use baking soda and vinegar, baking soda and aluminium foil, or ammonia.
If you have hard metal jewellery, hot water can loosen dirt and debris.
Please note that some types of jewellery require special care and cleaning methods. For example, delicate gemstones like pearls and opals should be cleaned by a professional .
If you want to try cleaning your jewellery at home, here are some additional tips:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to apply a solution of baby shampoo and water to your jewellery.
- Dip your jewellery in warm water to wet it, then use your fingertip to lightly massage the item with a thin coating of plain white toothpaste. Wait 2-3 minutes, then use water-dampened cotton swabs and/or a soft-bristled baby toothbrush to gently scrub the item.
- Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water and let the jewellery soak in the solution for a few minutes.
Please also note that while these cleaning methods are generally safe for most types of jewelry, some materials may be more delicate than others.
