Jewelry Cleaning & Care FAQs
What Is the Best Way to Clean Jewelry at Home?
The best way to clean jewelry depends on the metal, gemstone and type of buildup you are removing. Flitz offers jewelry cleaners and polishes for cleaning, restoring shine and removing tarnish from many types of jewelry. Flitz Jewelry Cleaner is ideal for routine cleaning, while Flitz Precious Metals Polish helps restore brilliance to appropriate gold, silver, platinum and other precious metal surfaces. For deeper cleaning, Flitz also offers Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner Solution Concentrate for use with compatible ultrasonic cleaning machines.
How Do You Clean Tarnished Silver Jewelry?
Tarnished silver jewelry can lose its shine as the metal reacts with air, moisture and everyday contaminants. Flitz Precious Metals Polish can help remove tarnish and restore the brilliance of appropriate silver and sterling silver jewelry. Apply a small amount as directed and polish the surface carefully with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning and polishing can help keep rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other silver jewelry looking bright and polished.
How Do You Clean Gold Jewelry and Restore Its Shine?
Gold jewelry can collect oils, lotions, fingerprints and everyday residue that dull its appearance. Flitz jewelry cleaning products help remove buildup and restore shine to appropriate gold jewelry surfaces. Flitz Precious Metals Polish can be used to polish suitable gold surfaces, while Flitz jewelry cleaners provide convenient options for routine care. Always consider gemstones, settings and other materials in the piece before selecting a cleaning or polishing method.
How Do You Clean Diamonds and Gemstones?
Diamonds and gemstones can collect oils, soap residue, lotions and dirt that reduce their sparkle. Flitz Diamond & Gemstone Cleaner provides a convenient way to clean appropriate jewelry and help restore brilliance to stones and settings. Because gemstones vary in hardness, treatments and construction, always make sure the cleaner and cleaning method are appropriate for the specific stone before use.
Can You Use an Ultrasonic Cleaner for Jewelry?
Ultrasonic cleaners can provide deep cleaning for many compatible jewelry pieces by helping loosen dirt and residue from small areas around settings, links and other hard-to-reach surfaces. Flitz Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner Solution Concentrate is formulated for use in compatible ultrasonic cleaning machines and can be used for appropriate rings, watches, gold, silver, diamonds and other jewelry. Not every gemstone, watch or jewelry piece is suitable for ultrasonic cleaning, so always check the manufacturer's care recommendations first.

Choose Flitz Jewelry Cleaner for convenient everyday jewelry cleaning, Flitz Precious Metals Polish for restoring shine and removing tarnish from appropriate precious metals, Diamond & Gemstone Cleaner for compatible stones and settings, or Flitz Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner Solution Concentrate for deeper cleaning in a compatible ultrasonic machine.
