Total time: 5 minutes
Organize the tools needed beforehand:
A bowl
A toothbrush
Mild detergent
A cloth
STEP 1: Preparations
Lay out the needed tools beforehand.
You will need: a bowl, a toothbrush, Mild detergent-free soap, a lint-free (soft microfiber cloth)
STEP 2: Soap Water
- Wipe each piece of jewelry between your soft cloth, to restore its natural shine.
- Then, mix a few drops of the mild detergent-free soap with warm water in a bowl.
STEP 3: Soak and Brush
Soak your jewelry (one piece at a time) and then dip a light soft-bristled brush into the water mixture and gently scrub your jewelry. This will help to give each piece a thorough cleaning.
STEP 4: Rinse and Dry
Rinse each piece carefully. After rinsing, lightly dry the jewelry pieces by gently patting with your cloth.
Ring Care
It is recommended when cleaning your rings to follow the above steps, although to leave the rings soaking in the soap-water bowl overnight before scrubbing with your soft-bristled toothbrush. To keep your rings extra shiny, we recommend cleaning your rings every few weeks.
