While cleaning gold jewellery, it is essential to avoid any harsh chemicals, soaps, oil or cleaning powders, as it will ruin the appearance of the jewellery making it uneven and dull. Ideally one should use their jewellery only when required and should avoid using it while performing house-hold chores. Wearing jewellery with designs regularly, would lead to the accumulation of dir and make it lose its shine. Ornaments are also prone to lose its shine, if it comes in contact with make-up and perfume.
Ideally, it is better to avoid cleaning any Indian jewellery by yourself, if it has precious stones or is painted. Gold ornaments should be cleansed with warm diluted dish washing liquids to preserve its appearance and shine. Ornaments should be soaked in some diluted detergent and gently dried after rinsing it with plain water. For removing hardened stains and dirt, some regular toothpaste should be rubbed with the help of a small piece of cotton. To drain excess water from the jewellery a soft cloth should be used. Tissues should be totally avoided as they may leave residues or form scratches on the jewellery. Ideally, one should give their jewellery professional care at least once a year in case they use it frequently. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance will redeem the look of the jewellery, making it appear brand new even after using it for decades.
