Keeping your 925 silver jewelry shining and free of tarnish is simple with a special silver cleaning cloth. Unlike pure silver, 925 silver is an alloy that contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, making it prone to tarnishing when it reacts with sulfur and other compounds in the air.
Using a designated cleaning cloth helps maintain your jewelry’s original luster. Here’s how:
- Start with Gentle Wiping: Use the cloth to gently wipe your jewelry, especially in areas where tarnish has built up. Avoid using water, as it can diminish the cloth’s cleaning properties.
- Focus on Tarnished Spots: The cloth will polish away any discoloration, returning the shine to your jewelry. Gently rub these areas in small, circular motions.
- Repeat as Needed: For heavily tarnished pieces, you may need to repeat the process. Take your time, as regular cleaning keeps tarnish from building up.
- Store Properly: After cleaning, store your jewelry in a dry place to prevent future tarnish.
Why Use a Special Cloth?
A silver cleaning cloth is specially designed to polish 925 silver without scratching or damaging the surface. Using this type of cloth is essential, as it preserves your jewelry’s integrity and prolongs its life.
