Product Information

Wipes are great for on-the-go cleaning, but they can be pricey per use, and they can also contain the same chemical cleaning agents as liquid cleaners. We don't recommend using baking soda on gemstones or softer metals, as it may scratch them. It’s best to use a cleaning solution designed for the specific material of your pieces, if you aren’t aware of an at-home solution. This cloth is on the larger size at 11 x 14 inches, making it great for larger jewelry and giving you a solid grip on smaller pieces. This traditional cleaner is so convenient that you can efficiently polish your entire collection and reuse the cloth, also making it an eco-conscious option. It may not be as strong as some chemical-based jewelry cleaners, but it can still clear most tarnish and grime from your pieces. That said, if you have serious buildup you may want to opt for a heavy-duty cleaner.

Unlike liquid jewelry cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners use ultrasound waves and chemicals to create bubbles that pull dirt and other grime off jewelry and leave them sparkling. The Magnasonic Digital Ultrasonic Cleaner cleans all types of jewelry, including gold, silver, and diamonds. It uses tap water combined with sound waves to create a gentle but effective clean that transforms your items. It's important to follow the instructions on your jewelry cleaner. The directions almost always explain how to submerge the piece in a cleaning solution or put it into a machine that uses sound waves or steam. You can use a small brush to clean intricate designs, although you should look for a soft-bristled brush made specifically for jewelry cleaning. After cleaning, rinse your piece and enjoy the sparkle! Don’t wear your jewelry if you're going to be doing anything messy or anything that involves chemicals,” advises Bailey. “If you're going to be washing your dishes, going to the gym, or working in the yard, take your rings off.” She also recommends taking off jewelry when you sleep, as it “allows your skin to breathe and helps prevent dermatitis or skin issues resulting from moisture getting under jewelry.” Additionally, store your jewelry properly when not in use to prevent scratching and dirt.For a reliable and effective cleaning solution, we recommend the Simple Shine Gentle Jewelry Cleaner Solution Kit for its fast-acting formula, versatility, and impressive shine. Plus, it comes with everything you need to clean your jewelry like a pro. Not all cleaning solutions are effective on tarnished silver, which is why you'll need a specific silver polishing product for it. Weiman Silver Wipes are an easy-to-use option for cleaning and polishing your silver jewelry, and the ammonia-free formula is gentle enough to use on silver settings that house gemstones. That doesn't mean you should use them to clean the stones, but the wipes can give you more control to work around stones than a liquid solution. You can also use them on silverware and any other silver-made items. We love how the wipes leave behind a protective coating that helps keep tarnish from forming in the future. As seen in this roundup, jewelry cleaners are available in a variety of formulations, including liquids, wipes, cloths, machines, creams, and sprays. While many formulas are designed to be effective and friendly for a variety of metal and non-porous gemstones, we recommend paying close attention to both your jewelry's care instructions and the manufacturer's list of appropriate surfaces before using a product. One perk of this machine—which we tested at home and reviewed—is that it doesn’t use chemicals. The fancy Magnasonic Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner surprisingly uses plain-old tap water and 42,000 Hz ultrasonic sound waves to get dirt and grime off of everything from diamond and gold wedding sets to eyeglasses. An ultrasonic cleaner can also be ideal for cleaning stainless steel jewelry with intricate designs that might be hard to scrub manually. An ultrasonic cleaner can also come in handy for cleaning coins, flatware, and even dentures, razors, and toothbrushes. You shouldn't use it to clean porous gemstones or other delicate jewelry, though, as those materials can be susceptible to damage.

If you want a jewelry cleaner without harmful chemicals, consider this natural steam cleaner from Steamfast. It uses heated water to produce powerful a steam that removes dirt, grime, and oil from jewelry. It can handle gold, diamonds, and sterling silver, revitalizing them to look as shiny as when you first got them.To decide on a jewelry cleaner, evaluate your existing collection and take a mental note of what materials are most prevalent. Depending on the type of stone and material you want to clean, some cleaning solutions will be a better fit. Research what type of cleaners is best for your items before purchasing a product, or you can risk damaging your jewelry. It depends on how often you wear the piece in question. Clean your go-to daily jewelry once every few weeks with a cleaning solution. This is with the exception of delicate porous stones, which should “be wiped down with a soft dry cloth every time they are worn,” says Bailey. Clean engagement rings and diamonds every few months to keep them looking fresh. This cleaner is ammonia-free and comes in an 8-ounce bottle, so you have enough formula to last for a long time. A dipping tray is included and can help reduce the appearance of scratches on your jewelry items. To use the solution, soak your items in the formula, repeating as needed, and then rinse any remnants off. While effective, note that this cleaner has a strong smell and isn't safe for precious stones or other types of metal. While a variety of jewelry cleaners and methods are on the market, a thorough hand cleaning can produce a beautiful, sparkling piece of jewelry. When we tested this Simple Shine kit at home, we found the process of using this jewelry cleaner to be easy and stress-free for restoring our favorite pieces to their former shine. This cleaner can be used on gold, silver, platinum, and treated gemstones. However, we would not recommend using it on soft porous gemstones like pearls, opals, or emeralds—such stones should not be submerged in water, so we would avoid submerging them in any cleaning solution, no matter how gentle.

This cleaning solution is easy to use as it includes a tray and brush. Soak your stained pieces for a few minutes before rinsing with water and buffing them with a cloth. You can use the solution repeatedly on seriously tarnished pieces without fear of damaging your jewelry. Because the formula has a lovely floral scent, you won’t need to plug your nose while cleaning any gunk or grime. The only downside is that the tray and brush are moderately flimsy compared to other products. A soft polishing cloth can be an easy way to restore sparkle to your metal jewelry that could use a light cleaning. This set from Sabrina Silver is designed for sterling silver, in particular, but you can also try it on solid gold, brass, and other metals. You'll get three 12-by-15-inch cloths, which feature two sides—a cream-colored side for cleaning dirt and grime from your jewelry and a blue-colored side for restoring shine and luster. You won’t need any cream or liquid to complete the cleaning process for many types of jewelry—just polish away with a little elbow grease. When you want to keep your diamonds sparkling or your class ring in tip-top shape for the upcoming reunion, a great jewelry cleaner can polish them all while protecting them from damage. The best jewelry cleaner for your pieces will be made to clean their specific materials and stones, and to target dirt and grime that build up over time. This article was researched and written by Katie Melynn, a freelance writer who specializes in home and family products. She has been writing for The Spruce since 2019.Melynn also talked to Laura Elizabeth, owner and designer of the luxury jewelry line Laura Elizabeth Jewelry, which focuses on sustainable materials, ethical production, and elegant style.It's best to keep in mind that every metal and gemstone will require different care. While we have tried to recommend products that are compatible with a range of metals and gemstones, some application methods and formulas won't be suitable for softer metals, plated metals, or certain gemstones. To use the steam cleaner, fill up the water tank and let it heat for a few minutes before adding in your jewelry; the LED lighting allows you to see the cleaning in action. You can choose between steam bursts or continuous steam, and the cleaner can work for up to 15 minutes at a time. This cleaner includes a jewelry basket, polishing cloth, measuring cup, and tweezers that you can use to hold your jewelry below the steam nozzle for even more effective results. Keep in mind that this machine isn't safe for pearls, opals, emeralds, and some other precious stones. There are multiple types of jewelry cleaners, including liquid, steam, and ultrasonic. Liquid cleaners are the most popular and are often used to clean gold, platinum, silver, and precious gems by coating the jewelry in a formula. Steam cleaners, meanwhile, use hot water to remove dirt and grime, but aren't ideal for precious gems and loose stones. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners are an expensive option but require little effort and are safe for use on precious stones. We love that this kit offers enough of the concentrated solution for up to 80 cleanings. You can also feel good making a fresh batch every time you need to clean your jewelry rather than wondering what grime may be lingering from past cleanings. Unfortunately, as with other liquid solutions in our roundup, this kit is not ideal for larger pieces and should not be used to clean soft, porous gemstones. However, we still appreciate the mix-on-demand formula and easy-to-use design that makes this kit well worth the affordable price tag.

While a jewelry cleaner can simplify the cleaning process, Elizabeth also recommends a three-step DIY process for cleaning your silver jewelry and removing tarnish. “Add a few drops of liquid dish soap, like Dawn, to warm water. Mix until bubbles form. Soak jewelry in the solution for anywhere from five to ten minutes,” Elizabeth says. Depending on your jewelry, you may need to shorten the soaking time. Baking soda is an effective cleaning agent to remove tarnish and dirt from silver jewelry. To clean silver jewelry in a DIY manner, line a baking dish with foil, and fill it with water. Add baking soda and your silver jewelry, and then watch the bubbling action lift up any dirt and remove tarnish. You can follow up with a polishing cloth for the best shine and sparkle.These wipes are easy to use but relatively expensive. They come in a resealable container, and each wipe is only for single use. They also don’t cover large areas, so we recommend a different cleaning method for larger silver items, such as serving trays and silver decor. However, for smaller jewelry, they’re ideal and easy to use. Sometimes, all you need to restore your jewelry’s shine is a polishing cloth, like this popular option from Mayflower Products. This cloth can clean gold, silver, and platinum, removing tarnish and restoring shine while adding a layer of protection against future grime. It includes two separate cloths: one with a cleaning solution for polishing jewelry and another for a final polish. Ultrasonic and steam machine cleaners are chemical-free and can give your fine jewelry that fresh-from-the-jewelers clean, but they are more expensive and take up more room on a countertop or under a sink. They can often be used with a wide range of jewelry, but, again, they can damage delicate gemstones.
