Correctly clean

After using the jewelry always needs to be cleaned. This is necessary in order to remove from the surface the remains of sebum, sweat, cosmetics, which can cause the oxidation reaction on the surface of the product, significantly worsening its appearance.

There are a lot of ways to remove the pollution and patina from the jewelry (the film formed as a result of the oxidation of metals):

1. After you have removed jewelry for gold, it must be wiped clean with a dry cloth made of flannel or a soft microfiber cloth that will help to remove dirt from the surface of the product. By the way, before putting on this procedure will also not be superfluous, since it will return the product smoothness and shine;
2. In order to return the jewelry shine, you can wipe it with a tampon soaked in wine vinegar, then quickly rinse with plenty of cold water. To shine quickly does not fade, it is important not to wipe the product with a napkin, and let it dry naturally, or under a stream of cool air from the dryer;
3. Most often when cleaning jewelry use soap solutions. In a small container with warm water, add a little soap (it is better than children's - it has the least fragrances), then they lower the costume jewelry, and after extraction, wipe dry with a soft cloth. In no case should you leave the product in solution for more than a minute - prolonged contact with water can adversely affect the state of sputtering "under gold." For the best result, you can add a little (literally 1-2 teaspoons) of ammonia to the soap solution;
4. From time to time, you can clean your jewelry for gold with a soft toothpaste.

It is important to remember that in the process of cleaning jewelry you can use only soft fabrics, sponges, sponges, tampons - any brushes (even with the softest nap) can leave scratches on the surface of the product. In addition, in any case, you can not use caustic substances, abrasives, acids, etc. Use of baking soda and tooth powder is also unacceptable.

It should be remembered that the spraying of jewelry for gold can react with substances contained in the air, so you should periodically clean such items even if you have not worn them for a long time.
