How to Clean Pearl at Home?
Since pearls are more delicate than other gemstones, they need careful cleaning and care. Although it looks like a durable stone, you should remember that pearls are sensitive to chemicals.
- Cleaning with a soft cloth and warm water: The most common and safe method to clean your pearl is to gently wipe it with a soft cloth using warm water. You can clean it with circular motions, taking care not to scratch the pearl.
- Cleaning with mild soapy water: If your pearl needs a deep cleaning, you can clean it with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. After wiping with soapy water, do not forget to rinse with a damp cloth.
If your pearls are worn or heavily soiled, you may need to have them professionally cleaned. In such cases, your jewelry can be cleaned with special solutions that do not harm the pearl and your jewelry can reach its first day shine.
Storing and Preserving Pearls
It is very important to keep your pearls away from moisture and chemicals. You should especially remember that perfume, deodorant and similar chemicals can damage the structure of the pearl.
Since pearl is a very delicate stone, it is prone to scratches if kept together with other jewelry. As long as you pay attention to these and clean your pearl regularly, Ecru Atelier's unique pearl collection will accompany you for many years.
