How To Clean Your Jewelry At Home?

If you’re tired of those annual visits to the jeweler to get your jewelry cleaned, think about cleaning them at home yourself. It’s not really tough and we’ll show you how to go about it.

It’s quite likely, that when we talk about cleaning jewelry at home, you may begin thinking that you will have to invest in one of those expensive ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machines that you’ve seen at the jewelers. Don’t be alarmed, we’ll teach you a simple process which doesn’t require anything really expensive. Most of the usual cleaning products available in the household are just about enough to get your jewelry shining and sparkling once again.

An old and commonly followed practice of cleaning jewelry at home is to steam the jewelry, however please avoid that because if you have jewelry with embedded stones, the delicate stones may get damaged. Also, when using chemicals to clean precious stone jewelry, be careful because the abrasive action of the chemicals can seriously damage the stone.

To clean silver jewelry, get some silver polish, spread it on to the piece of jewelry and rub it well. Wipe off the excess and do a little bit of buffering to get back to shine of your silver jewelry. If your jewelry has some soft stones, simply wipe them clean with chamois, which is a soft piece of suede leather especially available for cleaning purposes only.

To get your expensive stones to begin sparkling once again wash them in a mild ammonia solution which contains ammonia and water in the ratio of 1:10. Even most of the professional jewelers use ammonia to clean your jewelry. Dip your jewelry in the solution for a few minutes and then use a soft used toothbrush to scrub off the dirt. Don’t forget to rinse your jewelry in plain water before you dry it up.

For metal jewelry that has become tarnished, the best cleaning agent is your regular toothpaste. We’re not looking for any of the refined modern versions like gels or tartar-control, but for the plain white toothpaste which doesn’t contain silica. Some tips to apply toothpaste onto an old toothbrush and scrub the jewelry, and then just rinse it off.

So you can see that to clean jewelry at home all you need are very simple things which are easy available in the market, and rather most of them will be always found in your home.
