If you want to learn ways to wash and care for your earrings, necklaces and rings, come with us!
Make a mixture with baking soda to wash metal jewelry
The product that cleans the most jewelry is baking soda. But it's not to rub the powder directly on the accessories. We're going to teach you a little recipe that will make your jewelry look brand new, but don't make it too often. Once or twice a year is enough.
Mix a liter of warm water with two tablespoons of vinegar, two of detergent and two of the famous bicarbonate. Put your pieces in the mixture for 5 minutes and use a toothbrush to clean it well. Don't forget to dry them before storing!
Use toothpaste to clean your accessories
Did you know that toothpaste has baking soda in it? Exactly, diva! This is one of the reasons why our teeth are clean after brushing. That's why you can use the product to clean your jewelry. Just use a toothbrush with the toothpaste on the necklace, earring or ring and wash them afterwards. Dry well before storing, okay? It's even worth using the hair dryer so that all the water goes away.
Take care of the jewelry so they don't darken
You can't keep cleaning objects all the time. Therefore, taking care of accessories is very important for them to last longer, clean and shiny. Everything follows only one principle: keep it away from moisture. No storing your jewelry in the bathroom, diva. This is an environment that stays humid all the time and will turn your earrings and necklaces dark faster.
Perfume can also darken your accessories. In addition to being liquid, the product has several substances that get dirty and make the jewelry dark. So, don't pass the perfume using earring or necklace. A really cool trick is to put pieces of chalk inside the drawer or box where you keep your bijus, as it will absorb moisture, preventing darkening.
