What household products can be used as a jewelry cleaner?

Sterling silver and gold jewelry often hold sentimental value for many people. Whatever it is—a cherished heirloom or a trendy, everyday piece—keeping its luster is of the utmost importance. Some folks still wear their jewelry even when they're taking their showers. You probably don't know that most silver and gold jewelry is actually a mix of other metals. For example, sterling silver is a compound made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Like 14K and 18K gold, it also contains other metals. Jewelry can develop surface tarnish or oxidation from long exposure to most metals.


Saltwater, humid air, water, perfume, shower gel, and shampoo—like these things in our lives—could damage your valuable jewelry. If you want your jewelry to maintain its shine for as long as possible, you should avoid the above things. If you follow our suggestions correctly, your jewelry will last for many years.


It doesn't matter how careful you are; your jewelry may dull over time. Instead of wasting time and money at a jeweler or retail store, you may clean your sterling silver and gold jewelry using basic household products.
