1.Prepare tools

Neutral soap solution (to make a home version of jewelry cleaner: in a clean container with warm water - about 40 degrees, according to the instructions for the use of soap, add the right amount of liquid soap and gently mix well.

2.Soak and clean

Next, move on to the crucial step of ring cleaning. Place the ring in a previously prepared solution of mild soapy water or professional jewelry cleaner. Allow to soak for 10-20 minutes, during which time the solution will effectively dissolve any dirt and grease that has accumulated on the ring. Try not to exceed 40 minutes, as prolonged soaking may hurt the precious ring material, so be sure to keep the time under control.
Again, it is important to keep children and pets away from the soapy water or jewelry cleaner solution during this process.

3.Wipe gently

After soaking, use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe the surface of the ring to remove any remaining dirt and impurities.
Please use a gentle and careful scrubbing method, as excessive force may cause unnecessary wear and tear.

4.Rinse well

Remove the ring from the solution and rinse the surface of the ring slowly but thoroughly to remove any soapy or detergent residue, which can affect the luster and material of the ring.

5.Dry thoroughly

Dry the ring carefully with a clean towel or paper towel to make sure no moisture remains on the ring. Even small traces of water can leave a mark. Dry the ring carefully with a clean towel or paper towel to ensure no moisture remains on the ring. Even small traces of water may leave a mark.
