today i,ll tell you how to clean gold jewelry...
There Is 3 method of clean jewelry...
Every method have 3 steps...
Dish Soap Method
Step 1: Put a few drops of liquid dish detergent in a bowl of warm water. Mix gently. For even better results, you can use sodium-free seltzer water or club soda…the carbonation loosens soil and removes debris.
Step 2: Soak the gold jewelry in the solution for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Scrub each piece of jewelry with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Stiff bristles can scratch the surface of your jewelry. Special brushes designed for this purpose are best, but an eyebrow brush will also work.
Step 4: Rinse each piece in warm running water.
Step 5: Blot dry with a soft cloth.
Ammonia Method
Use this method sparingly. Even though it’s very effective, doing it too often can damage your gold. (Ammonia can also darken platinum.)
Step 1: Mix one part ammonia to six parts water.
Step 2: Soak the jewelry in the mixture for no more than one minute. Using a strainer can help with pulling it all out quickly at once.
Step 3: Rinse the jewelry thoroughly under running water.
Step 4: Dry the jewelry with a soft polishing cloth.
For Jewelry with Gemstones
Pieces of jewelry with gemstones that are glued into the setting should not be submerged in water.
Step 1: Wipe the jewelry with a cloth that’s been dabbed in dish soap solution, as instructed above.
Step 2: “Rinse” the jewelry with a cloth dampened with plain water.
Step 3: Lay the pieces upside down after cleaning so any remaining moisture won’t soak into the setting.
