Caring for Your Gold-Filled Jewelry: Daily Maintenance and Deep Cleaning Tips
Maintaining the beauty of your gold-filled jewelry requires a bit of daily care and occasional deep cleaning. Follow these simple steps to keep your SR.co pieces looking stunning for years to come.
Daily Care Routine
-
Wipe After Wear: After removing your jewelry, gently wipe away any product buildup with a soft cloth or cotton ball. This helps prevent tarnishing and keeps your pieces looking their best.
Pro Tip One: If you've had a particularly sweaty day or used heavy products like sunscreen or perfume, give your jewelry a quick rinse in warm water and pat it dry. This extra step helps remove any residues that could cause tarnishing.
-
Remove Before Bed: Always take off your jewelry before going to bed. This small habit can significantly extend the lifespan of your SR.co pieces by preventing exposure to sweat and oils while you sleep.
Deep Cleaning Your Jewelry
For a thorough clean, follow these steps:
-
Gather Your Supplies:
- Mild soap (Dawn dish soap or Dove body soap are excellent choices)
- A cup of warm water
- Soft cloth, flannel, or paper towel
- Soft toothbrush (optional, for extra cleaning power)
-
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix a tablespoon of mild soap into a cup of warm water. Stir until well combined.
-
Clean Your Jewelry:
- Submerge your chains in the soapy water. If your pendants are removable, take them off the chain before submerging.
- Let the chain sit for 5 minutes to allow the solution to loosen any dirt or buildup.
-
Gentle Scrubbing (Optional): For rope chains, herringbone chains, or pendants with cable chains, use a soft bristle toothbrush to gently massage the chain. This extra step helps to remove any stubborn grime.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your chain under clean, warm running water to remove any soap residue.
-
Dry Completely: Pat your chain dry with a soft cloth and ensure it's completely dry before storing it away.
