Wedding rings are supposed to be worn all the time. Therefore, it should go without saying that it will need to be cleaned sometimes. Your hands accumulate dirt daily, which can easily hide in the crevices of a ring. To prevent harmful bacteria from building up or the ring from tarnishing, make sure you clean your wedding ring every couple of weeks. Read on to discover more about wedding ring cleaning.
Cleaning Your Rings Yourself
As well as washing your hands often, you should also be washing your wedding ring. You can use a soft toothbrush for this, which should help you get in between all the cracks and crevices of your ring. Mix some plain dish soap in a bowl with some warm water, and use this to gently scrub at the ring. Don’t scrub hard and make sure you’re careful while doing this, as you don’t want to break the ring. Once you’ve given it a good clean, rinse your ring in some water and allow it to dry fully.
On top of your bi-weekly cleaning, you should also set aside time for a deeper clean once a month. Using a proper jewellery cleaning product, submerge the ring for a short while to allow the solution to clean it. This should get rid of any lingering bacteria that you can’t normally reach. Don’t leave it for too long and always follow the instructions of the cleaning product you’re using. Remember to test it on a small patch or another piece of jewellery if you aren’t sure what reaction it may have.
Professional Wedding Ring Cleaning
Twice per year, you should have your wedding ring professionally cleaned. This not only ensures that your ring is clean and bright, it also allows your jeweller to inspect it for any issues. If a stone is coming loose or something isn’t where it should be, they can easily fix this. This means that your ring will last for longer and be less likely to suffer catastrophic damage.
If you don’t get round to cleaning your ring regularly at home, you may want to take it for a professional clean more often. When the stone looks dull or the metal looks tarnished, you’ll know it’s time to take it for a professional clean.
