Questions of cleaning stainless steel jewelry

There are many different things that are made from stainless steel. From watches to wedding rings, necklace, bracelet, stainless steel jewelry has a lot going for it. It's cool but it's much stronger and less expensive. It's not prone to rust or tarnish, and it's very easy to clean. Now here are some questions when you clean stainless steel jewelry.
The first question: Can I wash my appliance with water?
Yes, you can, but use caution. Water by itself is no more effective on dirt than it is if you wash your hands with plain water. To clean grimier stainless steel pieces, use a soft cloth to apply toothpaste. You should use plain white toothpaste that doesn't contain silica. Use a soft toothbrush to reach any etched areas. Afterward, apply plain warm water with a cloth, or dip your piece in the water. You may need to use a clean toothbrush to remove remaining toothpaste. Gently wipe dry with another soft cloth.
The second question: Can I wash with soap and water?
The question here is what kind of soap?  There are as many kinds of soap as there are shelves at your local grocery or retail jewelry store. Choosing the right soap takes thought, and in the end while it may be expedient, it may not be the best or most cost effective means for your stainless steel item.
Clean Versus Polish Cleaning refers to the process of removing household dirt, dust, fingerprints and grime. By whatever means that are recommended in your owner's manual, you will still want to use a polish – especially on your major appliances. Polish your jewelry with a nontoxic stainless steel polish or polishing cloth--both are available in jewelry stores and online.
