How to Clean Your Engagement Ring at Home
-
1.
Gather Gentle Cleaning Supplies: To protect your valuable ring, use only mild materials—warm water, a few drops of gentle dish soap (free of harsh chemicals), a soft-bristled toothbrush (like a baby’s brush), and a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid anything abrasive that could scratch the metal or loosen stones.

Soak Your Ring: Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Submerge your engagement ring for 20–30 minutes to loosen everyday oils, dust, and dirt trapped around the setting and beneath the diamond.

Brush Gently with Care: After soaking, use the soft toothbrush to carefully clean your ring. Focus on the diamond’s underside and intricate metalwork where grime builds up. Brush softly to avoid damaging delicate prongs or settings.

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your ring under lukewarm running water to remove all dirt and soap residue. Plug the drain or use a bowl to prevent accidental loss—diamonds can be slippery!

Dry and Polish: Pat your ring dry with a lint-free cloth—avoid paper towels or tissues that could cause scratches. Hold the ring by the band to prevent fingerprints on the diamond, and give it a gentle polish for a radiant shine.
