Gather Supplies: You'll need a mild detergent, warm water, a soft-bristled toothbrush, a soft cloth, and a jewelry cleaning solution (if applicable).
Assess Your Jewelry: Check for any loose stones or delicate parts that may need extra care.
Prepare Cleaning Solution: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water in a bowl.
Soak: Let your jewelry soak in the soapy water for a few minutes to loosen dirt and grime.
Scrub Gently: Use the soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the jewelry, paying attention to hard-to-reach areas and crevices.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your jewelry under warm running water to remove any soap residue.
Dry: Pat your jewelry dry with a soft cloth. Make sure it's completely dry before storing it.
Optional: Polish: If needed, you can use a jewelry polishing cloth or specific polishing solution to restore shine to your jewelry.
Store Properly: Store your clean jewelry in a dry, cool place, preferably in separate compartments or pouches to prevent scratching and tangling.
Remember to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, especially on delicate gemstones or plated jewelry, as they can cause damage. If you're unsure about cleaning a specific piece, it's best to consult a professional jeweler.
