- Soft cotton fabric
- Bowl

How to clean gold jewelry:
- Before starting, make sure that all precious stones are securely fixed. If the mounts are weakened, it is better to postpone the decoration for repair.
- Pour warm water into a small bowl and add a few drops of dishwasher. Mix the solution thoroughly.

- Dear jewelry in soapy water for 10-20 minutes. It is better to soak one decoration to avoid scratches.
- After soaking, carefully clean the decoration with a soft brush to remove dirt. A cotton wand will help to get to hard -to -reach places.
- Rinse jewelry under ordinary water and gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Do not use paper towels, as they can scratch the surface.
