Your wedding band is more than just jewellery, it’s a daily symbol of your love and commitment. But over time, even the most precious rings can lose their shine thanks to everyday wear and buildup from lotions, soap, and the environment.
Luckily, keeping your band looking beautiful doesn’t have to be difficult. With a few easy steps, you can clean your wedding band at home and keep it sparkling between professional cleanings.
How to Safely Clean Your Wedding Band at Home
If your ring is made of gold or platinum and does not contain delicate gemstones, a basic at-home clean can do wonders.
What You’ll Need:
· A small bowl of warm water
· A few drops of mild dish soap
· A soft toothbrush (preferably one you only use for jewellery)
· A lint-free cloth or microfiber towel
Steps:
1. Soak your ring in warm, soapy water for 15–20 minutes.
2. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, paying special attention to grooves and behind stones.
3. Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm water.
4. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Important Tips to Keep Your Ring Looking Its Best
Even though wedding bands are made to be worn every day, they’re not invincible. To keep yours in great shape, here’s what we recommend:
· Don’t wear your ring while gardening. Dirt and grit can scratch the surface or get embedded in any detailing.
· Avoid wearing it at the gym. Weightlifting can bend metals like gold.
· Take it off when handling raw meat. Food particles can lodge in crevices and become tough to clean.
· Don’t clean with harsh chemicals while wearing your ring. Household cleaners can cause wear to both metal and gemstones over time.
Should You Use Jewellery Cleaning Solution?
Yes, with caution. You can buy a jewellery cleaning solution made specifically for gold and platinum bands. However, cleaning solutions are not safe for all gemstones.
Tip: Ask the professionals at Troy Shoppe Jewellers if the cleaning solution you're considering is safe for your ring. They're happy to offer advice tailored to your specific jewellery.
