While we're all stuck inside for the unforeseeable future, it seems like deep cleaning is at the top of everyone's to-do list! And that should include your jewelry as well. Dirt and bacteria can easily build up on your jewelry - especially your rings! We have a very easy solution that you can do at home with simple cleaning products that you very likely already have.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
-Soft bristle toothbrush -Regular dish soap -Windex/Glass cleaner -Warm water -Room temperature water -Towel/Paper towel


STEP ONE
Combine 1 part dish soap, 1 part glass cleaner, and 2 parts warm water in a small bowl. There is no need for exact measurements - keep it simple!

STEP TWO
Place your jewelry in the cleaning solution. Let it soak in there for a few minutes - or a few hours! A little extra time can't hurt.

STEP THREE
Once you have let your jewelry soak in the cleaning solution, take it out and gently scrub it with the soft bristle toothbrush. Make sure to scrub all of the crevices where dirt and bacteria are more likely to build up. We would highly recommend that you no longer use this toothbrush to brush your teeth. Set it aside as your jewelry cleaning brush!

STEP FOUR
Place it in a cup or small bowl of room temperature water, or run it under the faucet. Just be careful not to drop your jewelry in the sink so that it doesn't fall down the drain! Rinse off all of the cleaning solution very well.

STEP FIVE
Pat your jewelry dry with a towel or paper towel. And voila! You are done!

HAND SANITIZER AND YOUR JEWELRY
We have also been getting a lot of inquiries about hand sanitizer and jewelry. For the most part, applying hand sanitizer while wearing your rings is safe for hard stones and precious metals. This includes jewelry with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and gold, silver, platinum and titanium. However, you have to be very careful with stones that are considered 'soft' such as opals or pearls because they can be damaged by the alcohol in the hand sanitizer. We advise you to remove your rings with soft stones before applying hand santizer. Using the jewelry cleaning recipe that we spoke about above is completely safe to use on rings and jewelry with soft stones like opal and pearl. Stay away from hand sanitizers with chlorine because chlorine can tarnish and cause corrosion in gold and silver jewelry.
