How to clean and disinfect silver jewelry Covid - 19

How to clean silver jewelry has always been one of the things that generates the most doubts, even more so with the arrival of COVID-19, since both cleaning and disinfection are a top priority. First of all we have to make sure of the quality and official status of the silver jewel in order to clean and disinfect it correctly. Any silver jewelery has to go through an official precious metal contrast laboratory that certifies that the silver law is 925 (92.5% pure silver alloy). Without a doubt, the best way to do it is to buy the jewelry in a trusted store.

At Joyería Agüeras we recommend different procedures to clean and disinfect silver:

    Neutral pH soap and water

    Hydrogen peroxide

    Alcohol 70º

The water and neutral soap should be enough to clean the silver. In any case, together with soap and water there is always a friction that, in the long run, can deteriorate the piece. Do it only when necessary, very gently and dry with a soft cotton cloth.

We will only use hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) and 70º alcohol to disinfect in the event that we believe that they have had direct contact with contaminated surfaces or people, since abuse can damage the jewel. Carefully wipe with a towel impregnated with one of the two products and then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cotton cloth.

We want to pay special attention to the need to moderate the use of hydroalcoholic gels on jewelry, since, as with colognes and perfumes, they can be too aggressive and, with continued use, could damage the pieces or worsen their appearance.

Also note that these are indications for silver since pieces with pearls or precious or semiprecious stones are more delicate and we only recommend using neutral soap and water.

In general terms, we recommend thorough disinfection of jewelry only in the case of direct contact with contaminated surfaces.

Finally, and regarding the measures adopted at Joyería Agüeras, we can guarantee that all our pieces are disinfected and that we strictly follow all the established regulations, since only in this way can we guarantee the safety of our customers.

For you. For all.
