Gold Jewelry Cleaning
Author: admin02.24.2008
Gold, if reasonably pure, does not tarnish, but jewelry may become dull, and should have its pristine brilliance restored before wearing.
Many excellent commercially-packaged agents are available for cleaning jewelry but the following hints are inexpensive and equally efficient for every day care.
Cleaning jewelry is a simple procedure.
- Fill a small bowl with any liquid soap and a teaspoon or more of clear household ammonia-the ammonia adds lustre to the gold and brilliance to any encrusted stones.
- Immerse the pieces in the bowl; let stand a few minutes.
- Remove one item at a time.
- Using a soft toothbrush, gently brush the piece and rinse III hot running water.
- Dry carefully
This formula is equally good for cleaning precious stones set III platinum. (Never wash pearls in anything but clear, cold water. Dry, with a soft towel.)
Warning: Before rinsing, be sure to close the drain stopper in the basin, or you may have to call a plumber to retrieve your treasure from the waste-trap.
