Most people don't know how easy it is to clean their diamond engagement ring and other jewellery. This post will talk about everything from the easiest to the hardest ways to do it.
WHY DOES YOUR JEWELLERY START LOOKING DIRTY?
Diamonds tend to attract oil and grease from things like hand creams, body lotions, or moisturizers, and sunscreens, to name a few. The oils and other ingredients in those products will leave a layer of grease and deposits on your jewelry, especially on the diamonds. This will make them less shiny and sparkly.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR DIAMOND RING AND OTHER JEWELRY IN THE MOST SIMPLE AND USEFUL WAY.
We've found that washing your dishes at home is the easiest and most convenient way to clean your diamond ring and other jewelry. Use the softest toothbrush you can find and put some dishwashing liquid in a cup of warm water. Clean your jewelry with care using a soft toothbrush. Especially the area under the diamond, brush it well but gently. It could take anywhere from 10 to 40 seconds to brush, depending on how dirty it is.
Tip: You can clean your jewelry as often as you want, but be careful not to scratch it when you do.
Advice: If you haven't cleaned your jewelry in a while, it may have a lot of dirt on it. Still not a problem—leave it in boiling water with some dishwashing liquid for 5 minutes before brushing it.
CLEANING WITH ULTRASOUND
Since you need an ultrasonic cleaning machine, this is not the easiest way to clean. We'll talk about different options and how they work here.
An ultrasonic machine works by making your jewelry vibrate at a high frequency while it is still in water. With these vibrations, any residues that have built up over time start to break down. This kind of machine makes a noise that some people might find annoying.
Option 1: Get an ultrasonic machine for yourself. It's for sale online for about $40 plus shipping. It's very easy to use and lasts for a long time. It just needs water and a little bit of dish soap. Still, we do suggest that you read through the instructions for use.
Option 2: Bring your jewelry to a jeweler in your area. There are places where it doesn't cost anything.
Any simple ultrasonic machine will work just fine.
Tip: Always add a dash or two of dishwashing detergent for better results.
Tip: Don't use an ultrasonic machine to clean your watch because the vibrations from the ultrasonic waves could hurt it.
