How to Clean Gold Jewelry

1

Mix a small amount of gentle liquid soap into a bowl or other small container of warm tap water.

Thoroughly rinse your gold jewelry under warm tap water, removing all soap residue.

After rinsing your jewelry, dry and buff it using a very soft cloth. This final step helps to remove any leftover soap residue, and prevents water spots from forming. Your gold jewelry is now clean, and ready to wear!

Rub chosen cleaning product onto the jewelry, either using your fingers or a very soft brush.

8

Rinse sterling silver jewelry under warm tap water, removing all cleaning solution.

9

Finish cleaning your sterling silver jewelry by rubbing it dry and buffing it with a very soft cloth.
