Gold Cleaning Mistakes: 90% Risk Damaging Shine & Value at Home!
- •Many unknowingly damage gold jewelry's shine and resale value with incorrect home cleaning methods.
- •Avoid toothpaste, harsh boiling water (especially with gems), hard brushes, and chlorine/bleach, as these can cause scratches, cracks, discoloration, and weaken joints.
- •Toothpaste's abrasive components create microscopic scratches, destroying original luster.
- •Safe cleaning involves lukewarm water, dishwashing liquid/baby shampoo, a 10-15 minute soak, gentle scrubbing with a soft brush, and drying with a microfiber cloth.
- •For antique or intricate jewelry, professional ultrasonic cleaning by an authorized jeweler is recommended to preserve its value.
Why It Matters: Clean gold jewelry safely at home with mild solutions or seek professional help to protect its value.
