Although a home clean will never have the end result as a professional clean, it can certainly make a difference. Perhaps you may have some old jewellery hidden away that you yearn to start wearing again, or you daily favourites are beginning to diminish from constant wear and being subjected to hairsprays, soaps, perfumes.


STEP 1


First and foremost, lay your jewellery out on a soft non fibre cloth for inspection and carefully examine your jewellery all over for any chips or breakages. This is a really important element to remember, it will prevent any further damage or heartache of losing a stone whilst cleaning.


STEP 2 For those who don’t own a jewellery cleaning solution (Johnsons highly recommend Connoisseurs cleaning solution, available online) you will need 2 small jugs. One jug partly filled with lukewarm water, the other with fresh cold water. NEVER wash your jewellery over a sink/basin. For those who do own a cleaning solution, once again please check the label and if applicable and you will only need 1 jug of fresh water.


TOP TIPS Each and every piece of jewellery is unique, therefore before any cleaning progresses, check your jewellery setting all over for any loose stones, lifted claw setting or any chipped/damaged stones. Also an extremely important factor is read any label of any jewellery cleaning solutions you may use - certain gemstones such as pearls, emeralds, and coral are too delicate for most jewellery cleaning chemicals.


STEP 3 Next carefully place your jewellery in the cleaning solution pot. For those without cleaning solution, carefully add a small amount of washing up liquid to the lukewarm water and place your jewellery items inside. Do not overcrowd the jewellery, it’s better to add 1 or 2 pieces at a time. At this moment in time, regardless which method you take, your jewellery should be now immersed in some kind of cleaning solution for around 20 seconds.
