Product Information

It's important to follow the instructions on your jewelry cleaner. The directions almost always explain how to submerge the piece in a cleaning solution or put it into a machine that uses sound waves or steam. You can use a small brush to clean intricate designs, although you should look for a soft-bristled brush made specifically for jewelry cleaning. After cleaning, rinse your piece and enjoy the sparkle! If you have a major tarnish-removing job to accomplish, you should consider using a silver polish. Also referred to as silver creams, these cleaners work almost like car wax. Rub them on and buff them off to reveal a beautiful shine. The downside is that they are more labour intensive to use, and because they require some rubbing, they can be harsh on silverplate. The final step requires thorough rinsing for best results. If your jewelry came with care instructions, you should follow those directions strictly. Otherwise, every jewelry cleaner includes a recommended use list that details which materials are compatible and safe to treat with it. You should also consider the size of your pieces, especially if your jewelry cleaner solution uses a tray to keep the pieces in place. Delicate chains and small earrings may slip through larger slots.
