Proper Way To Care And Maintain Stainless Steel Jewelry

Jewelry made of stainless steel is greatly valued not because of style versatility but also because it does not rust or corrode. Most people will wear stainless steel pieces without having to worry about earring allergy. Jewelry made of steel alloy will most likely contain chromium; and it lasts a long time.

1. Pour some warm water in a small bowl and then add your mild soap. It does not have to be a fancy soap even your normal ‘kipande’ will do. Just create a mild foam.

2. Dip the soft cloth in the water and clean your stainless steel gently. Make sure to cover all surfaces until it is clean.

3. Use clean warm water and a soft cloth to wipe off the soap residue left on the jewelry.

4. Using a clean dry towel, get rid of all the water and then leave your jewelry to dry in open air.

5. If you have jewelry polish or a polishing cloth, shine your piece until it is sparkling clean. People who have the habit of using toothpaste to polish their jewelry risk damaging the piece because toothpaste contains abrasive elements like silica.

6. If you don’t mind spending a few extra coins, you can buy a stainless steel cleaner available in the market. Make sure to follow all care instructions if you go this direction.
