1 – How to clean gold with a special jewelry cleaning liquid
A very convenient way to clean gold jewelry is with a professional jewelry cleaning fluid.
It is a reusable liquid that gives gold jewelry a high shine and a fresh appearance, and significantly slows down the darkening process.
It is a liquid that we throw in gold jewelry for about 10 minutes. So, after this time, remove the clean gold jewelry with tweezers, rinse the jewelry well under running water, dry and go!
2 – Cleaning gold jewelry with a special cloth
You can buy special cloths to clean gold. So, use a cloth to polish the jewelry that has lost its shine. A special preparation with which the cloth is soaked gives the jewel a mirror shine. This cloth should not be washed, as it loses its cleaning capacity.
3 – How to clean gold with water and soap or liquid detergent
To get rid of cosmetic deposits, immerse the jewelry in water with soap or dish detergent, then rinse and polish with a cloth. For hard to reach places, you can use a soft brush.
4 – With table salt
Strong dirt is removed from jewelry using four ingredients available at home:
- sodium bicarbonate
- salt
- aluminum foil
- Water
How to clean
- First, the glass or bowl (not of metal) must be lined with aluminum foil to completely fill the bottom.
- Then pour hot water (approx. 200 ml), add 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- We mix the solution and put our dirty jewelry in it.
- We waited about 15 minutes.
- If the jewelry is very dirty, you can gently clean it with a soft toothbrush in the meantime.
