How to Clean a Wedding Ring

Keeping your ring clean isn't just about keeping it sparkly. It is important to care for your wedding ring, not only to keep it looking at its best but also to ensure you don’t cause any damage which may result in repair works.

We recommend cleaning your engagement ring every couple weeks—or more, if you're wearing it during household chores and strenuous activities.

It is important that before you start cleaning them, you look closely at your ring and check the state of it. If the ring is in good condition you can make the following at home:

Use Washing Up Liquid To Clean the Ring

Fill a recipient with warm to hot water and add washing up liquid. Let it soak for 20 to 40 minutes and brush the stones with the help of a soft-bristled toothbrush. The best one would be one that doesn’t have any rubber bristles. Usually, kids toothbrushes are softer which makes them perfect to clean diamonds. Keep this toothbrush separately and use it only to clean your jewellery. This way, it will stay softer and clean.

Gently Brush the RIng Using a Toothbrush

When you brush it, make sure you brush the lower part of the diamond. A lot of dirt can build up at the base where the diamond is mount.

Rinse the Ring Under the Running Water

Rinse your diamond ring under warm running water (don’t forget to put the plug in to avoid your ring from dropping down the sink).

Dry the Ring

To dry off your rings, you can use a cotton or linen cloth. These materials will not scratch the metal as paper towels would. You could also let it air dry.

Polish the Ring

If you have a polishing cloth, you can rub your ring over it to make the metal shine. Don’t forget to store your cloth in a re-sealable bag to avoid getting dust on it.
