Earrings are a cherished fashion accessory, but keeping them clean is important. You might wonder if regular hand soap is safe for cleaning your earrings. The answer depends on the type of earrings you have.
For everyday cleaning of most earrings, mild dish soap is a good option.
We recommends using a gentle, natural dish soap free from harsh chemicals or perfumes. Here's how to clean your earrings with dish soap:
- Prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap.
- Gently swish your earrings in the solution.
- For earrings with intricate designs, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Be very gentle and avoid scrubbing hard. Rinse the earrings thoroughly with clean water. Dry them completely with a soft cloth.
Important Note: Not all gemstones can be cleaned with dish soap. If your earrings have pearls, opals, or other delicate stones, consult a jeweler for cleaning recommendations.
