Cleaning costume jewelry: this is how it gets clean again

Costume jewelry is available in a wide variety of colors and materials. Therefore, women like to wear it as an everyday accessory. However, it also quickly gets dirty. Here's how you can easily clean fashion jewelry.

How to clean your costume jewelry

Because costume jewelry is not made from real materials, it can quickly look scratched, rusty, or tarnished. However, you can easily clean the jewelry.

• If your costume jewelry was silver-plated, you can polish it back in with a silver cleaning cloth. This also applies to gold-plated parts.
• Most fashion jewelry is made of plastic. You can safely clean these in warm water with a little detergent.
• The same applies to jewelry made of glass.
• For heavier soiling, you can also use a very soft brush. Be careful, however, and don't press too hard to avoid damaging your jewelry.
• Finally, dry the jewelry well. A soft wool towel is best for this.
• Also make sure that the costume jewelry never gets wet. So put the pieces down before bathing and do not store them in damp rooms such as the bathroom.
