Tarnish and daily wear dulls the shine of precious metals and fades the sparkle of your favorite gems. But it&rsquo;s not practical to take your jewelry to a professional every time you need to enhance the shine. Instead, you can occasionally clean your jewelry at home between wears or before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/store-jewelry-3-key-considerations\/\">putting them away for storage<\/a>. With the right supplies and a simple guide, it&rsquo;s easy to learn how to clean jewelry at home.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"supplies-for-cleaning-jewelry\">Supplies for Cleaning Jewelry<\/h2>\n<p>When learning how to clean jewelry, one of the most important concerns is the types of cleaners and supplies you need for various items. Gathering some simple supplies can help you clean most types of jewelry in a short time and with little effort. Before you get started, check your cabinets for these household supplies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mild Dish Soap<\/li>\n<li>Soft-Bristled Toothbrush<\/li>\n<li>Microfiber Cloth<\/li>\n<li>Strainer<\/li>\n<li>Clean Makeup Brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"5-things-to-avoid-when-cleaning-your-jewelry\">5 Things to Avoid When Cleaning Your Jewelry<\/h2>\n<p>Before you get started learning how to clean your jewelry at home, it&rsquo;s important to understand the behavior you should avoid. Certain cleaners and supplies can damage soft metals and the stones in your favorite jewelry. Unfortunately, there are many myths about how to clean jewelry that can lead to damage. Here are five things you should avoid when cleaning your jewelry.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Avoid using paper towels to dry your jewels since they can scratch soft metals.<\/li>\n<li>Never use household cleaners to clean your jewelry. Harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia can permanently damage your jewelry.<\/li>\n<li>Skip the use of ultrasonic cleaners at home. They work by causing vibrations that can loosen stones from the settings.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using soaps with moisturizers. They can dull jewelry by leaving a film.<\/li>\n<li>Never use abrasive powdered cleaning products like toothpaste and baking soda to clean your jewelry. It can cause tiny scratches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"pro-tip-for-how-to-clean-jewelry\">Pro Tip for How to Clean Jewelry<\/h4>\n<p>Many jewelry cleaning methods suggest soaking to loosen dirt and grime.
