Stainless steel jewelry: 3 mistakes to avoid
Partager
- Using toothpaste as a cleaner
Often presented as a home remedy, toothpaste generally contains slightly abrasive agents. While suitable for teeth, these can gradually dull the shine of stainless steel jewelry, especially on polished surfaces.
- Wiping jewelry with a paper tissue
Tissues and some paper towels can leave fine fibers on chains, engravings, and clasps. For best results, always use a clean, soft, lint-free microfiber cloth.
- Cleaning jewelry immediately after wearing it
After a sports activity or a particularly hot day, allow the jewelry to return to room temperature for a few minutes before cleaning it. This precaution allows for more comfortable maintenance and avoids handling jewelry still damp with perspiration.
