Gold is a noble metal that needs careful care, because the brilliance and beauty of gold items depend on it. If you find that your favorite ring or earrings are getting darker, it's time to clean them.
How to clean gold jewelry at home quickly and effectively
Mix room temperature water, 10-15 drops of liquid soap and 5-10 drops of ammonia. Soak the jewelry in the solution for 8-10 hours. After the allotted time, remove the products, rinse with clean water, dry and polish with a cloth.
How to clean stone jewelry
Dilute a teaspoon of liquid soap or shavings of ordinary soap in a glass of water. Soak the product in the solution for 10-15 minutes, and then gently work it with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush. Then rinse in running water and dry with a dry, lint-free cloth.
How not to clean gold
It cannot be cleaned with vinegar. It is best to choose more gentle methods, such as polishing with soap chips and soda or a solution of ammonia. In no case should white gold items with stones be boiled. From high temperatures, the places where the stone is attached can fall apart and the decoration will be damaged.
