Stainless Steel Jewelry Care: Showers, Swimming and Cleaning
Share
Stainless steel is one of the most practical metals for everyday jewelry: it is strong, keeps its shape and does not rust easily. A few simple habits keep it looking new for longer, especially if it has a gold-tone finish.
Can you shower with stainless steel jewelry?
An occasional splash of water will not hurt stainless steel. But soap, shampoo and hard water leave a film, and a gold-tone finish wears faster with daily contact. We recommend taking your jewelry off before showering.
Swimming, the gym and cleaning products
- Chlorine and salt water: take jewelry off before the pool or the sea.
- Sweat: wipe pieces after the gym.
- Cleaning products and perfume: put jewelry on after perfume and take it off for housework.
How to clean it
- Rinse in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap.
- Rub gently with a soft cloth.
- Dry completely before storing.
How to store it
Keep each piece separately in a pouch or a small jewelry case so the pieces don't scratch each other. Our mini travel jewelry case is made for this.
Is stainless steel good for sensitive skin?
Many people wear stainless steel without problems, but it does contain a small amount of nickel. If you know you react to nickel, check with your doctor before wearing it.
