Cleaning Jewelry

It’s important to clean jewelry after each wearing. Doing so keeps the jewelry looking great and ready to throw back on with a moment’s notice. Like keeping clothes mended and ironed, in the mad rush to get ready for work, knowing that accessories are clean and ready to wear ensures the wearer the quickest time getting ready and out the door.

Take care to keep all cosmetic and scent products from coming in contact with jewelry. Use hairspray or any other type of spray beauty product before the jewelry is worn. Only put jewelry on with freshly washed hands.

Caution should always be taken when cleaning jewelry. For most jewelry, the safest way to clean it is as simple as breaking out some liquid unscented soap. In a plastic bowl, mix warm water with a scant amount of liquid soap. Dunk and swish the jewelry in the water. Massage the jewelry gently with fingers. Alternatively, the jewelry can be carefully scrubbed with a toothbrush.

Rinse and dry thoroughly before storing. For jewelry that is not terribly dirty, rinsing the jewelry in clean water with gentle towel drying works well too. Once the jewelry-wearer gets in the habit, this takes only a second. After washing, leave the jewelry out overnight on a towel in a safe place to dry. While selecting jewelry for the next day’s wear, put the previously worn jewelry back in storage.
