But did you know that there are steps to be taken to preserve the beauty of your gold jewelry?  <\/p>\n\n<p>If the gold jewelry is left unattended, <strong>it will not oxidize or lose its shine<\/strong>, but if you use the gold regularly, the precious metal can accumulate a layer of soap, body oil and grease &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a gold ring, gold chain, or gold earrings.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is therefore important to take care of your gold jewelry to ensure it stays shiny and beautiful!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I clean gold at home? 4 simple steps<\/h2>\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/tavex.se\/hur-rengor-man-guld\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tavex.se\/hur-rengor-man-guld\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean your gold jewelry<\/a>, you can follow these 4 steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by taking off your gold jewelry.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soak your jewelry in a bowl filled with lukewarm water and 2-3 drops of mild detergent. Avoid using any harsh chemicals like bleach or chlorine, as this will damage the gold.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After soaking your jewelry, use your fingers and a soft brush to rub off the dirt, a toothbrush is fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After removing the dirt, you can use a jewelry polishing cloth (available at most jewelry stores) and polish your gold to remove scratches.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>It is also recommended to take your gold jewelry to a professional jeweler for a deep cleaning, polishing and inspection at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you swim with gold jewellery?<\/h2>\n\n<p>We recommend that you remove your jewelry while bathing or swimming. Soaps tend to build up and form a film on your gold jewelry. Even chlorine and salt water are bad for your jewelry.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I best defend my gold jewellery?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Wrap your gold jewelry in a soft cloth when not in use. We recommend <strong>investing in a jewelry box<\/strong> with silica gel bags, which absorb moisture to safely store all your gold jewelry.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Holding your jewelry together will also cause scratches when they rub against each other. The idea is to store your gold jewelry separately and keep it away from a humid environment like the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there products to avoid when cleaning gold?<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is important to clean your jewelry regularly but these products should be avoided:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Abrasive cleaners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper\/fabric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard brushes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toothpaste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bicarbonate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Avoid using these products on <a href=\"https:\/\/tavex.se\/guldpris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your jewelry at all costs<\/a>. They can either scratch or weaken the jewelry gold. Use only mild soap to clean your jewelry at home.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How often should I clean my gold jewelry?<\/h2>\n\n<p>You should clean your jewelry once a month, perhaps more often if you use it regularly. But only clean <strong>when you notice dirt build-up<\/strong>, so avoid cleaning your gold before it gets dirty, especially if there are jewels in the jewelry.<\/p>\n\n<p>These simple methods will help keep your jewelry in good condition and more durable. A little cleaning and polishing can go a long way for your gold. So remember to take <strong>care of your precious jewelry<\/strong> and we hope these tips will help you enjoy your jewelry for years to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold jewelry can lose its shine with use.
