Before you begin
Before you begin, it’s important to inspect your jewelry. This will give you an idea of what kind of cleaning method is best for each piece—you don’t want to use the wrong tool on a ring, for example!
- Identify the type of jewelry. Is it gold or silver? Does it have precious stones?
- Identify the type of metal. Is your bracelet made from stainless steel or sterling silver? If so, this will help you determine which metal polish will work best for maintaining your bracelet (more on that later).
- Check for any damages and missing stones. After identifying what kind of metal your jewelry is made from and checking for any damages and missing stones, it’s time to start thinking about how much time and effort you’re willing to put into cleaning it.
Soft cloth
A soft cloth is the best way to clean your jewelry. The reason it’s best to use a microfiber cloth is that it doesn’t have any fibers that might get stuck in the crevices of your jewelry and scratch it.
Paper towels are usually too rough and can leave little lint particles on your jewelry, which can cause scratches too, so don’t use them to wipe off your bracelet! If you’ve got a tissue handy, that’s okay—just make sure not to use one with lotion or oil on it as this could transfer onto your bracelet and cause stains in addition to making things slippery for you when you’re putting away everything later (and possibly causing more damage).
Once all of the dirt has been cleaned off from around each part of the bracelet (which will probably take some time), place both sides together again and let them air-dry before storing them away somewhere safe like where they won’t get knocked over by other items rolling around nearby during cleaning time at work etc., because otherwise those tiny bits left behind might get lost forever if not put back properly after washing.”
Commercial jewelry cleaner
There are commercial cleaners available at most jewelry stores, but if you don’t have a local store that sells jewelry cleaner, you can find them online and in some major cities.
Commerical cleaners tend to be more effective than home made concoctions because they contain chemicals that help dissolve stains, tarnish and other build up on your jewelry. They also come in different formulas designed for specific types of metal so take into consideration what kind of metal your bracelet is made from before choosing a cleaner.
You can find these cleaners at hardware stores, supermarkets and pharmacies among other places:
At-home jewelry cleaner
If you have a gold or silver bracelet, you’ll want to clean it at home. To do this, use a mixture of hot water and dish detergent. Use your toothbrush to scrub the crevices of your jewelry with this mixture until they are clean. Rinse with warm water and let dry before storing away in an airtight container so that it doesn’t tarnish or get damaged by other metals (like those found in perfume bottles).
Cleaning your jewelry is easy
Cleaning your jewelry is easy, as long as you do it right. First, make sure to handle your gold or silver bracelets with care when they are not on your wrist. It’s a good idea to keep them in a safe place so that they don’t get tangled up with other items and scratch the surface of the metal.
Second, use a soft cloth (like an old t-shirt) when cleaning your jewelry at home. Make sure not to scrub too hard because doing so can damage the delicate finish of gold or silver bracelets!
Finally, if you’re feeling ambitious and want to get professional results from your home cleaning techniques then consider using commercial jewelry cleaner or professional salon grade products like Creations by Kelli Mitchell which offer superior results over standard household cleaners like Windex or 409®️ Solvent Spray that contain ammonia which can damage some types of jewelry finishes over time due to their chemical composition.”
