Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
You should first thoughtfully collect, the necessary tools and materials of the craft. Here's what you'll require:
- Bowl: A small bowl or container large enough to comfortably house jewelry is best, while Lukewarm water should be avoided to minimize temperature swings between hot or cold spots.
- Select Mild Dish Soap: When cleaning with gold and diamonds, opt for mild, phosphate-free dish soap; harsh detergents can damage them.
- Soft Bristled Toothbrushes: To reach intricate settings efficiently use either an extremely small baby toothbrush or a soft makeup brush as they offer better access.
- Microfiber Cloth: When drying jewelry without leaving behind scratches or fibers, microfiber cloth is key. It removes dirt without scratching precious gems or fibers behind.
The Cleaning Process
1. Prepare Cleaning Solution
Take a bowl and place it on the basin, add several drops of mild dish soap mixed with hot water, and stir with your hand slowly to get a light froth.
2. Soak Your Jewelry
Once all pieces have been added to the solution, soak for 15-30 minutes depending on how extensive their cleaning needs may be; for heavily stained items longer immersion times may be needed.
3. Gentle Brushing
After soaking, use a soft-bristle toothbrush to carefully and lightly scrub your jewelry by brushing over each diamond individually while paying particular attention to any areas between diamonds and gold settings where dirt accumulates. Be gentle while applying minimal pressure; any harsh movements could dislodge stones from their settings or damage them permanently.
4. Rinsing Thoroughly
Once finished with cleaning your jewelry with soap residue removal products, ensure all traces have been washed off thoroughly to eliminate a film on its surface that can leave behind residue traces that leave an unpleasant after-taste and possible mold growth.
5. Drying and Polishing
To properly dry and polish jewelry, carefully pat it dry using your microfiber cloth without rubbing as this could cause microscopic scratches to form on it. Allow air drying time before storing away.
Additional Tips for Efficient Cleaning Solutions
