Coronavirus: How to Sanitize DIY Jewelry and Watches

In this particular period of difficulty we are all much more careful about personal hygiene and the objects that surround us. It is good to know that, like our hands, our smartphones and the objects we touch, even jewelry and watches can be sanitized and cleaned at their best! In today's guide we explain how to best sanitize jewelry and watches.

Jewels

We had already talked in this post about how to clean jewelry at home. In this case, however, we are looking for a deeper sanitization, with the primary aim of eliminating germs and bacteria. Quickly done! All you need is a little water with neutral soap, a cloth to dampen and an alcohol solution . In fact, food alcohol can eliminate up to 70% of germs and bacteria!

There are two methods: immersion or "dry" cleaning . You can choose whether to immerse your jewelry in soapy water, or whether you prefer to clean them with a cloth moistened with the disinfectant solution.

You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush to reach all parts of the jewel. Be gentle, I recommend! Finally, use warm water.

Pearls and colored gems

In this case, special attention is required, so as not to ruin the gems and pearls ! Absolutely avoid bleach and ammonia and prefer water, neutral soap and, for a deeper hygiene, an alcoholic solution. Absolutely no rubbing: pearls are delicate and, to clean them properly, it is sufficient to immerse them in a neutral solution. Also be careful not to wash them together with other jewels: they would risk being ruined and scratched.

Clocks

When dealing with a mechanism with more complex (or technological!) gears, it is better to pay more attention. If your watches are waterproof, the method for sanitizing watches is the same: immersion in warm soapy water and then a cloth moistened with the disinfectant solution .

In the case of non-waterproof watches, the advice is to use only the cloth moistened with the disinfectant solution . The important thing, in this case, is to clean the watches very carefully.
