First of all, it is important to remember that we clean gold and silver in different ways. We choose the method of cleaning jewelry based on the type of metal it is made of.
GOLD
Submerge your gold jewelry in a solution of dish soap and water. After about 15 minutes, take out the jewelry and dry it with a soft cloth. This way, we will get rid of impurities, sediment, and unwanted dust.
We can also use vinegar to clean gold jewelry. Prepare a solution with a ratio of 1/4 water and 3/4 vinegar. Make sure the jewelry is completely covered. Every now and then, move the jewelry to rinse off the dirt between the spaces. After a few minutes, dry the jewelry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
SILVER
Line a container with aluminum foil, pour in warm water and add a few tablespoons of baking soda. Leave the jewelry in the solution for several minutes. After that, take out the jewelry, wash it with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. This procedure will help you get rid of greenish and dark deposits, and your favorite jewelry will regain its former shine.
Toothpaste + toothbrush. Remember to use a gentle toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. By cleaning your jewelry in this way, you will get rid of dirt from every nook and cranny. Mix the paste with water and prepare a thick paste, then gently brush your favorite jewelry with a toothbrush. Be careful not to scratch the silver. After cleaning all the corners, rinse the jewelry and dry it.
If you want to professionally clean your jewelry, you can use special liquids available in jewelry stores. Just soak the jewelry in the specialized liquid according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Then rinse and dry it.
Another professional product for cleaning jewelry is a cloth gently moistened with a special liquid. This type of product works perfectly when cleaning jewelry with a lot of smooth elements. The cloth effectively removes sediment, dark deposits, and various impurities from the jewelry. And it will certainly restore the shine to your favorite jewelry.
Remember, you always have the option of using professional jewelry cleaning services from a jeweler. This is certainly the safest way without the risk of damaging or scratching your favorite jewelry.
