The cleaning guide of cubic zirconia jewelry

Cubic zirconia (or CZ) jewelry is made from brilliant, flawless, manmade stones. Cubic zirconia (or CZ) jewelry can sparkle like jewelry with proper care. Even though you must be careful when cleaning gemstones, it’s easy to clean your cubic zirconia jewelry. With just a couple of minutes of work, your jewelry will be dazzling and bright and ready to wear to events. The following will be three suggestions on how to clean the cubic zirconia jewelry.
1. Cubic zirconia stones can appear dull over time with the build-up of lotions and oils from the skin. Cleaning CZ jewelry regularly can help it maintain its brilliance. Cubic zirconia stones can be cleaned professionally if desired, but they can also be easily cleaned at home. First, polish with a cloth. Use a cotton or flannel cloth to wipe your jewelry clean. A special jewelry polishing cloth would be perfect. Using straight, back and forth strokes, polish your jewelry and remove any surface dirt and dust. Do not rub in circular motions; that can scratch the surface of your jewelry.
2. If your CZ jewelry is made of gold or platinum, then you can clean it with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, pre-packaged jewelry cleaning solutions or rubbing alcohol. If your CZ jewelry is made of sterling silver, it is best to avoid these cleaning products as harsh chemicals can discolor and damage sterling silver jewelry. Soapy water and a toothbrush can be used to clean any type of CZ jewelry. Simply mix mild dishwashing liquid with warm water and soak the jewelry. You can then gently scrub the jewelry clean with a toothbrush and rinse it under warm water.
3. The most convenient way to clean your CZ jewelry is to use a small brushing device with soft bristles (preferably a toothbrush), along with warm to hot water mixed with a mild liquid dishwashing detergent, and brush as well as possible to remove any scum build-up. Then, rinse well in warm to hot water, pat dry with a clean cloth, and take a look. If more cleaning is needed, soak the jewelry piece in hot water, with about 1/3 detergent to 2/3 hot water. (The mix is not critical.) Then, just brush again. When you're done cleaning your jewelry, be sure to dry it well so to keep its brilliant shine.
With the cleaning guide, you will find out the cleaning of cubic zirconia jewelry is a easy work, the proper cleaning and the good protection will make your jewelry in good condition and spark brilliant.
