How to Clean Gold Jewelry

You spent a lot of money on your gold jewelry and now you want to keep it nice. There are various steps that can help you keep it in great condition for your use again and again.
Store it in a safe place
You want your jewelry to stay in good repair. You should not just throw all of your pieces into a box. They could get tangled and kinked and might even break. Use a jewelry box or another container where each piece can get the space it needs without being tangled with each other. Keep it away from chemicals and other items that could harm it.
Periodically inspect your jewelry
You do not want to lose a valuable piece of jewelry because one small piece breaks off. Oftentimes you can see that a part is breaking before it actually breaks completely. Periodically check your gold jewelry to see if there are any signs of breakage. If you have an insurance plan that offers free cleanings and examinations, then consider that. If anything seems like it is breaking at all, then stop wearing it immediately and take it into a shop for repair.
Keep your gold jewelry clean
It is important to keep your gold jewelry clean. This will keep it sparkling and shining for your use. There are different ways that you can do this.
One easy way to clean is to get a gold jewelry cleaner. These comes in different types. They may contain a small tub of solution. You drop in the piece for 30 seconds and then take it out and scrub it with the small included brush. Rinse it off and you have a clean piece in minutes. Make sure you read and follow all directions of the particular cleaner; if the piece has gemstones or other metals you may not be able to use it.
For something simple and on-the-go, use jewelry cleaning cloths. These are sold at discount stores like Target and online.
You can also use simple soap and water to clean your jewelry, according to Luxist. If the piece is just gold and has no other metals or stones you can soak your pieces in water and a small amount of dish soap and then dry them with cotton. If there are gemstones, then you should use a cloth with the water/soap liquid and rub them. Use a cloth that just has water on it to get off the solution. Do not submerge gemstone jewelry into water.
You can also use a soft toothbrush to help clean areas that are difficult to get to. Brush softly so that you do not damage the jewelry.
There are many other electronic cleaners that you can buy. Make sure to follow the directions. Also, many jewelers will clean jewelry for a small fee.
Keep your gold jewelry clean in a safe way. Use the above methods for your pieces.
