When stainless steel jewelry is found to be dirty or dark, one of the easiest ways is to wash it with soapy water. First of all, pay attention when choosing soap. Do not choose alkaline or highly acidic soap. You should choose a mild liquid soap. After mixing with the corresponding proportion of warm water, soak the stainless steel jewelry in soapy water for several minutes.
Next, wipe with a soft cloth along its natural texture. If your jewelry has carvings, grooves or other difficult to handle conditions, you can use a soft toothbrush to gently remove the stains, which can ensure that the jewelry is completely cleaned.

More people will tend to use toothpaste for jewelry cleaning. If you choose the right toothpaste, then this is also a good way.

Some toothpastes popular on the market, especially those containing whitening agents, are irritating and abrasive, and can scratch stainless steel. Therefore, you need to choose a smooth and soft gel toothpaste to clean the jewelry is an effective way.
In addition to these household tricks, there are of course more professional cleaning methods. An ultrasonic cleaner is a great option that will allow you to clean the touches more easily.
