How to Clean Cubic Zirconia

Cubic zirconia is a sparkling man-made marvel. This simulated gemstone let’s you get a tremendous and timeless style at a great price. To keep your cubic zirconia shining its brightest for years to come it’s important to clean it properly. Check out these helpful tips to care for your collection.

First you will want to gather the following:

• Bowl
• Warm water
• Mild soap
• Tweezers or tongs
• Microfiber cloth
• Qtip

Fill a bowl with lukewarm water. There should be more than enough water to submerge and cover your jewelry piece.

Next, you’ll want to add a scent and color free soap to the water. It’s best to avoid soaps with fragrance and coloring because they can leave your pieces with an unwanted residue or tint.  Stir the mix together until it gets sudsy.
Now, use your tweezers or a similar tool to submerge the jewelry piece in the bowl. By using a tool instead of your fingers, you can avoid leaving fingerprints, oils, or smudges on your jewelry. Move and agitate the piece back and forth in the soapy mix. This helps shake off any loose dirt or grime and get the cleaning solution spread all over the jewelry.

After that, you can take your jewelry out of the bowl, and place it on a microfiber or soft cloth. If your piece has any small or intricate details, you can use a qtip to clean those finer areas.
Finally, you can leave the piece to air dry or gently pat it dry with a microfiber or soft cloth. Once it's dry, you’re ready to store or wear it again!
