As a rule, costume jewelry is not that expensive, so almost every woman has at least one ring or pendant made of inexpensive materials.
But more often than not, such jewelry attracts dirt, skin particles, and dust like a magnet, causing the metal to become dull and require cleaning. So, how can you restore your jewelry to its original appearance?
Don't be upset if the condition of your jewelry is affected by external factors, just arm yourself with the following life hacks to quickly put your accessories in order.
No additional funds will be required
You can get rid of dirt on inexpensive jewelry using a regular toothpick or toothbrush, which is no longer useful to anyone.
This is the first stage of cleaning any jewelry. You just need to get rid of dirt in hard-to-reach places, and the small bristles on the brush will do it.
Arm yourself with toothpaste
If your jewelry suddenly becomes dull, don’t give up; you can restore its shine using regular toothpaste, which everyone has in their bathroom.
And you will also have to get some cotton pads and a brush: a brush is suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach places, and if the area of the decoration is quite large, then a cotton pad will do the job. Of course, at the end you need to rinse the decoration under running water so that there is no paste left on it.
Nail polish remover
It is important to say that the liquid should not contain acetone, otherwise the decoration may lose its attractive appearance.
Do not use chemicals to clean jewelry. Apply a small amount of the product to a regular small cloth, which will be enough to thoroughly wipe the jewelry, paying special attention to the places where the dirt has accumulated the most.
If this method does not help, you should pour the product into some container, then lower the jewelry into it and arm yourself with a rag again.
Cleaning with soap
Polishing with soap solution is another way to save cheap jewelry. What do you need to take?
- a microfiber cloth or a reusable napkin;
- some water;
- liquid soap or shampoo.
No matter how much the jewelry costs, you need to clean it carefully so as not to damage it in any way, not to tear off any stones or erase the protective coating, then the jewelry will remain safe and will look even better than before.
