How to clean gold and how often to clean gold jewelry

The gold jewelry we wear in daily life will inevitably become dirty and old. The gold may be dirty just by a little dirt. There are many ways to clean gold. Correct cleaning can make the gold brighter.

1. Gold can be scrubbed with salt. The fine salt grains can make gold look brand new. You can mix 2 grams of edible salt, 7 grams of baking soda, a small amount of bleaching powder and 60 ml of water to make a cleaning agent. Then put the gold in a small bowl and pour in the prepared cleaning agent to soak it. Take it out after 2 hours, rinse it with warm water, and place it in a cool place or bury it in sawdust to air dry. After it is dry, wipe it clean with a soft flannel cloth.

2. Use neutral detergent to clean gold. Mix a small amount of neutral detergent with warm water, soak it in a bowl, scrub the stubborn stains on the edge with a soft brush, rinse it under clean water and dry it. However, you need to pay attention when choosing detergents. The common detergents in daily life have chemical substances that will change the color of gold, so you must not use detergents to clean gold, but should choose neutral and mild detergents.

3. Cleaning gold with toothpaste The specific method of cleaning gold with toothpaste is to wet it in clean water first, then use a small soft brush with a small amount of toothpaste to gently wipe the surface. The reason why many people don't like to use toothpaste to clean gold is that some toothpastes contain abrasive particles with a hardness of 6-7 degrees, which is as hard as crystal. If you are not careful, it will leave scratches on the soft gold surface. Therefore, when using toothpaste to clean, you should also choose toothpaste that does not contain abrasive particles.

In winter, you can clean your jewelry once a week for general cleaning and care, and you can wipe and disinfect it with white wine or alcohol. In summer, it is better to clean it every day to wipe off the sweat and salt on the jewelry, which ensures personal hygiene and keeps the jewelry clean and tidy.

How to wash gold to make it brighter

1. We can find a piece of flannel, then squeeze the toothpaste we usually use for brushing teeth onto this flannel, and then rub the flannel dipped in toothpaste on the gold. This way of cleaning can make the gold brighter, but be careful not to use toothpaste with particles.

2. Ammonia can also effectively clean the surface of gold. If we use ammonia to clean gold, we first need to find a cup, then fill the cup with pure water and add a few drops of ammonia. Finally, put the gold in and shake it a few times, then take it out and wipe it dry.

3. In addition to the above two points, we can also use salt, baking soda, bleaching powder and water in a certain proportion to make a gold cleaning agent, then soak the gold in the cleaning agent for a period of time, then rinse it with clean water and wipe it dry.

How to Brighten Gold Jewelry

To protect the luster of gold jewelry, you can apply a thin layer of nail polish on it. If there is a black film on the surface, you can use 2 grams of salt, 7 grams of baking soda, 8 grams of bleaching powder, and 60 ml of water to prepare a "gold cleaning agent". Put the gold jewelry in a bowl and pour the cleaning agent. After 2 hours, take out the gold jewelry, rinse it with clean water (preferably not hard water), bury it in sawdust to dry, and then wipe it with a soft cloth. For rings with gemstones, roll a piece of cotton with an ice stick or a matchstick, wet it in a mixture of floral water and glycerin, scrub the frame of the gemstone, and then polish the ring with a flannel cloth. Do not scrape it with sharp objects such as blades. Mix salt and vinegar into a cleaning agent and use it to wipe pure gold jewelry to make it last forever. Wiping with toothpaste or hot thick rice soup can also restore the luster.
