What is that Thick, White, Mountain of Crud on your Earring Posts?
Cottage Cheese?
Ladies and Guys, what are you thinking? Why don't you clean your Earrings?
You know, those Gold and Diamond things you put in your ears that you forget about for 8 Months? They get Dirty! Real Dirty!
I can't tell you how many times a customer will take off their Earrings and hand them to me with Big, Chunks of Earring Goop, Gunk, Whatever you want to call it, stuck to the ends of the Posts! White Foreign Substance! Puss? I don't know!
Some Earrings get so bad that the little holes in the Earring Backs get filled up with Junk as well.
I'm here to tell you... I'm NOT touching them! It's GROSS!
I know, I know, that's the whole reason you're here in the Jewelry Store, to get them Cleaned! But, come on, why only Clean them once a Year?
That's the problem!
Can you imagine what your clothes would look like if you never washed them?
NO MORE!
I'm going on Earring Goop STRIKE!
What's funny is the fact that people know this. They feel bad about it. Ladies smile and get embarrassed and try to wipe the Debris off the Earrings before they hand them to me... Too late! I've already seen them (and Retched!)
Why put us through this? Can't you clean your Earrings more often? Or bring them to a Jeweler more often so we can clean them in the Ultrasonic Cleaner. You know, like once a Week, or at least once a Month? That way it keeps the Grime from building up and getting Nasty and Disgusting!
Earrings get Hair sprays and Perfumes on them, Soaps and Shampoo, it's a natural part of life. I get it! But they need to be Scrubbed and Cleaned just like everything else does.
Do this: Take some Jewelry Cleaner (or a little Ammonia and warm water) and an old Tooth Brush and gently dab at them. Scrub underneath the Diamonds or Gems. Get into the Baskets and between the Prongs and Mounting. Get the Gunk out!
Keeping your Earrings Clean not only makes your Diamonds look brand new again and Sparkle like the day you bought them, but it also keeps your Posts from Tarnishing, Staining, turning Dark or Black and getting Brittle or Weak!
That's right! Jewelry that gets Dirty can wear down faster because the Metal will corrode!
So take your Earrings off and Clean them good. Get all that foreign whatever it is off your Posts and Backs. And then maybe you won't feel so embarrassed and have to make excuses when you pull your Earrings out of your ears and there's 6 month old Potatoes growing from them.
Yes, this sounds Gross, but believe me, it IS! It's Gross and it smells!
I'M NOT TOUCHING IT! lol
I don't know where your ears have been! ;)
Plus, I'm not going to get into graphic details about the different types of dried substances I've seen on them. GAG!
Horrors, I tell you, Horrors!
Better get your Tooth Brush...
There's some Heavy Cleaning to do...
