How to clean and maintain Moissanite? Can Moissanite be wiped with alcohol?

In our daily lives, we often see people wearing diamond jewelry. Diamonds are very shiny and beautiful. Some people may find that after wearing them for a period of time, the diamonds are not as shiny as before.

Like diamonds, moissanite also needs regular cleaning and maintenance. You can use diamond cleaning agent, wipe it with flannel, and finally blow dry it with a hair dryer. For daily maintenance, avoid collision and friction, high temperature exposure, do not put moissanite and items containing acidic and alkaline chemicals such as cosmetics in the same place, and insist on regular cleaning.

1. Moissanite is oleophilic and easily adheres to oil stains. Therefore, in addition to carefully storing moissanite jewelry in daily situations where it is easy to encounter oil stains, it should also be cleaned every month to keep the moissanite dazzling.

2. Moissanite jewelry can be rinsed with warm water, then gently absorb the residual water with a soft cloth and wipe it clean to keep the moissanite bright. You can also mix water and alcohol, soak the moissanite jewelry in the mixture for about half an hour, then gently scrub it with a toothbrush, and then dry it with a paper towel.

3. There is a jewelry cleaning liquid on the market that is very effective in cleaning moissanite jewelry. You can use a small bowl or teacup to hold warm water and add an appropriate amount of cleaning liquid to the water. Then immerse the jewelry in the water, gently scrub it with a toothbrush, then use a net bag to hold it, rinse it with warm water under the faucet, and finally dry it with a soft lint-free cloth. Cleaning is the most common way to maintain moissanite, and the usual wearing habits are more important. Take off the pendant when wearing pullover clothes, and take off the jewelry when sleeping and taking a bath and keep it well. Although it is not so easy to be exposed to various extreme environments, you still need to pay attention to it to keep the moissanite bright and beautiful.

1. Say “no” to collision and friction

Moissanite is a gemstone with a hardness second only to diamond. Therefore, if you put moissanite together with other gemstones, it is easy to cause friction, thus scratching the gemstone jewelry with a lower hardness than it. Although moissanite is hard, it is also very brittle. If it collides, it is easy to break. Therefore, you should avoid storing or wearing moissanite with other hard objects, and say "no" to collision and friction.

2. Say “no” to high temperature exposure

In strong light or high temperature environment, the internal structure molecules of moissanite will expand, causing cracks and fissures on the surface of moissanite, and even cracks in more serious cases. Therefore, do not place moissanite near heat sources and say "no" to high temperature exposure.

3. Say “no” to acid and alkali chemicals

Although the essence of moissanite is silicon carbide, acidic and alkaline chemicals will corrode the surface of moissanite, causing the surface of moissanite to darken and affect the appearance of moissanite. It is also possible to damage the internal structural molecules of moissanite, resulting in loose texture, and then the moissanite will become fragile. Therefore, do not put moissanite and items containing acidic and alkaline chemicals such as cosmetics in the same place, say "no" to acidic and alkaline chemicals.

4. Keep cleaning regularly

Since moissanite is lipophilic and prone to oil stains, regular cleaning is necessary. As for the cleaning method, you can rinse it with clean water and brush it with a soft brush. If conditions permit, you can also use a neutral care agent specially designed for gemstones to clean and remove the oil stains on the surface of the moissanite. As for the cleaning time, if you wear the moissanite every day, it is recommended to clean it once every two weeks. If you wear it occasionally, you can wait until the moissanite looks greasy before doing further cleaning.
