HOW TO CLEANE SILVER AND GOLD JEWELRY AT HOME

HOW TO CLEANE SILVER AND GOLD JEWELRY AT HOME:  Your jewelry deserves to shine – always. Over time, even the finest silver and gold pieces can lose their luster due to exposure to air, moisture, lotions, and daily wear. But the good news? You don’t need expensive treatments to bring them back to life. With a few simple tips, you can safely clean your jewelry at home and keep it looking radiant for years.

✨ How to Clean Silver Jewelry

Sterling silver (925) naturally tarnishes over time, but it’s easy to restore.

You’ll need:

  • A soft cloth or microfiber cloth

  • Mild dish soap

  • Warm water

  • (Optional) Baking soda & white vinegar for deep cleaning

Steps:

  1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.

  2. Soak your silver jewelry for 5–10 minutes.

  3. Use a soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean crevices.

  4. Rinse with clean water and pat dry thoroughly.

  5. For heavy tarnish: make a paste of baking soda and water, gently rub it on the silver, rinse, and dry.

Pro Tip: Store silver in an airtight container or pouch to prevent tarnishing.

✨ How to Clean Gold Jewelry

Gold doesn’t tarnish, but it can lose shine from oils, dirt, and lotions.

You’ll need:

  • Mild dish soap

  • Warm water

  • A soft toothbrush

  • A clean, dry cloth

Steps:

  1. Soak the gold jewelry in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes.

  2. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.

  3. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid: Harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive brushes – they can scratch or damage both silver and gold.
