Over time, everyday wear, natural skin oils, lotions, and environmental dust can dull the brilliant shine of your favourite accessories. You don’t need expensive commercial cleaners or high-tech equipment to bring back their original luster. With a few gentle household items, you can safely restore the sparkle of your Glemes collection in under ten minutes.
Here are five safe, easy, and effective hacks for cleaning your jewellery at home.

1. The Gentle Soapy Bath
For everyday maintenance of 925 Sterling Silver and 18K Gold Plated pieces, a mild liquid soap solution is your safest choice.
- The Process: Mix a few drops of mild, dye-free dish soap into a bowl of warm (not hot) water. Submerge your pieces for 5 to 10 minutes to loosen oils and grime.
- The Wipe: Gently wipe the surfaces with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth, rinse thoroughly with clean warm water, and pat completely dry.

2. The Soft-Bristled Toothbrush Trick
Dirt and buildup frequently collect behind gemstone settings and inside delicate chain links where cloths cannot reach.
- The Process: Dip an ultra-soft baby toothbrush into warm soapy water. Lightly brush around stones, settings, and engravings using small, circular motions. Avoid scrubbing hard on plated surfaces to prevent premature wear.

3. The Baking Soda Paste for Tarnished Silver
Pure sterling silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to air over time. A gentle baking soda paste works wonders on untarnished silver.
- The Process: Mix two parts baking soda with one part water to form a smooth paste. Apply a small amount to the silver using a soft cloth, rub gently, rinse under lukewarm water, and buff to a mirror finish.
4. Microfiber Polishing Magic
Sometimes water isn’t even necessary. Dry polishing with a specialized jewellery cleaning or microfiber cloth instantly removes fingerprints and dullness from gold-plated bands and smooth hoops. Keep one in your bag for quick touch-ups on the go!
5. Ultrasonic Care Caution
While home ultrasonic cleaner machines are popular, avoid using them on plated pieces or soft gemstones. Stick to gentle soak-and-wipe methods to protect the protective outer layers of your Glemes accessories.

Regular care takes only a few minutes and ensures your hypoallergenic Glemes jewellery stays radiant, tarnish-free, and ready to complement your daily look!
