What To Use To Clean Gold Jewelry?
- A cleaning solution made up of lukewarm water, not hot water, and dish soap. See other options below
- Soft brush or soft bristled toothbrush
- Polishing cloth or soft cloth, such as the brand Blitz
Real gold jewelry can safely be cleaned with a variety of household products such as:
- Mild dish soap mixed with water
- White vinegar
- Windex
- Baking Soda & water
- Seltzer water
How To Clean Gold Jewelry?
- Soak the gold jewelry in a cleaning solution made up of lukewarm water and dish soap for about 10-15 minutes
- Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and rinse under cold water
- Dry with a soft lint-free cloth then allow to air dry
Our Tips:
- Seltzer water can be used in place of warm water because the bubbles help to lift off the dirt.
- Use plain toothpaste to get off tarnish if needed, not the gel, just plain paste.
How To Clean Gold Jewelry With Precious Stones?
- Diamonds, sapphires or rubies: If the gold has diamonds, sapphires or rubies set in it, it is also safe to use the above.
- Emeralds, opals or turquoise: Do not use anything except mild dish soap and water on jewelry set with emeralds, opals or turquoise etc because they are porous and can get ruined easily.
- Pearls: Pearls are even more delicate and should only be cleaned very gently with a make-up brush dipped in a little warm water mixed with a little gentle shampoo.
