How to clean jewelry~

Dec 11, 2022

The cleaning of jewelry is basically divided into two parts, gem and metal. Both have their own preferences and the best way to choose according to the specific situation.

First, introduce common cleaning tools. The selection method is attached at the end of the paper.

1. Brushes and toothbrushes are handy and very convenient.

It is recommended to use detergent to clean jewelry. The toothpaste with fine particles can be used for silver decoration cleaning, which has a slight cleaning effect, but will cause small scratches on the surface. It is not recommended to use on plated ornaments. Don't brush the precious jewels like pearls. I usually use a soft brush or clarisonic's face brush to clean jewelry. This super fine hair facial brush on Taobao has fine, soft and very fine hair. It is very suitable for cleaning delicate things. I usually use antique jewelry with pearls to clean many details.

In fact, toothbrush is also very useful with toothpaste, which can be understood as an enhanced soft brush. Different toothpastes will affect the effect. The toothpastes without granules/transparent toothpastes can be used to clean most jewelry. Particles will leave traces on the metal similar to crabapple powder, which will damage the surface of some low hardness gemstones and organic gemstones, but it is also good for making old silver ornaments or antiques. There is a toothpaste with very large particles. Pay attention when using it. It is very effective in cleaning, but it may brush the metal out of the matte surface. Electric toothbrush and facial brush are two stable options for cleaning jewelry.

2. The silver wiping cloth itself contains fine abrasive, which is equivalent to re polishing. It is convenient. It can only clean large areas of light oxidation, and has weak effect on the oxidation accumulated throughout the year.

3. Begonia powder is actually a fine calcium carbonate powder. Oxidation is removed by fine polishing the surface.

4. It is difficult to clean the details of silver paste because of the paste. But it can be used to wipe antique objects and so on, which can moderately retain the sense of antiquity. Invalid for non silver products.

5. The silver washing water reduces silver and oxidizes it through chemical reaction. I usually use Connoisseurs. The silver washing water cleans the details very well. The chain can also be washed very clean. There is basically no dead space. No damage to the coating and good cleaning effect. Some gold-plated silver ornaments will have brown blue stripes for a long time, and the silver washing water has the best effect. However, the reaction between the silver washing water and the sulfur used for making old silver ornaments will make the whole old part yellow, and it is difficult to wash down, so you must not touch the old silver ornaments. Silver washing water can also damage the surface of pearls, and organic gemstones cannot be touched. If you have to use it, you can use a fine pen to dip it in a small area, and then wash it immediately. The reaction of silver washing water to different proportions of silver is different. Some silver ornaments will turn slightly yellow after being washed for a while. Wipe with silver cloth or Begonia powder.

6. Polishing strip is actually a polishing strip used for manicure. It can not deal with details, but it is also effective for fine scratches on the surface. For long-term oxidation effect is also good, can be used with ultrasonic cleaner.

7. The ultrasonic wave used for household ultrasonic jewelry cleaning is the kind used to wash glasses, which is very convenient. The effect of ultrasonic is very good. It can be matched with detergent. For jewelry with good stability, it can be matched with glass water. Many fashion jewelry adopt imitation pearls, and there are many metal coatings. It is not recommended to use ultrasonic, which may cause destructive consequences. The pearl layer on the surface of the imitation pearl will peel off completely. For gemstones, ultrasonic wave may cause fragmentation for varieties with many cracks. Coral should not be used. The old silver ornaments cannot be shocked with the new ones, which will become dirty.
