keeping your jewellery clean.

For those of us that love to wear our favourite pieces of jewellery on a daily basis, or if your just one of those people that may only wear an engagement ring and wedding ring, the huge challenge we all have is trying to keep it looking shiny so that it still makes the statement it did when we first purchased it.

There are many reasons that your jewellery can end up looking dull and grimy but believe it or not most of the time it’s down to your daily routine and you’re not even realising.  

Hair products, moisturises and perfume/aftershave are one of the main factors of your jewellery looking dull and dirty. These products easily get trapped in between the hard to reach areas of your jewellery, for example in between the links of chains and bracelets or under the setting of a ring which also stops light from making the stones sparkle.

So how do you keep your jewellery looking clean and shiny?


Maybe choose to do this procedure once a month but nothing hurts doing it every couple of weeks if you’d prefer. 

  • Soak your jewellery in a warm solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Lemon fairy liquid is a good choice, but any other mild detergent is fine. 
  • Use a soft brush or toothbrush if necessary to remove dirt. Soft is the key -- don't use a brush with bristles that are stiff enough to scratch the jewellery’s surface.
  • Swish the ring around in the solution, and then rinse it thoroughly in warm water. Close the drain first, or put  the jewellery in a strainer to keep from losing it! 
  • Dry the items with a lint-free cloth.
  • If you have a ring setting which needs extra help, use a dental Water Pik to flush away small bits of grime. You can also use a wooden toothpick to very carefully push dirt away from the setting. 


Here at Pledge's we also offer a professional jewellery cleaning service from just £2.
