Warm Detergent Wash:

• First take a shallow bowl and mix a little household detergent in warm water.
• Place your jewels in the bath for a few seconds and gently brush with a soft old toothbrush.
• Then transfer them carefully to a wire tea strainer or a sieve and rinse under running water.
• Pat dry with a soft cotton cloth immediately. Your jewels will glitter like new now.

While cleaning any jewel in the warm detergent bath, avoid harsh fibers, household scrub or coarse powder. Use only a mild household detergent.

Ultrasonic Cleaners:

Another easy solution to keep your jewels clean is to make use of, 'Ultrasonic Cleaners'. These machines can clean your jewellery in a matter of minutes by creating high-frequency turbulence. They are available with all leading jewellery stores and can be a convenient way to quickly clean your jewels. However, special care needs to be taken when cleaning stone-studded jewellery as vibrations created might loosen the settings in the jewel and may cause the stones to fall.

Cleaning Pearls:

For cleaning pearls, use only a mild detergent solution, highly diluted. Quickly clean and rinse in running water immediately. Wipe the pearls with a soft tissue after cleaning.
