Can you clean your diamonds with toothpaste?<\/strong> I get asked that a lot…<\/p>\n

\nSo let’s address it.<\/p>\n

\nYes<\/strong>, you can clean a diamond ring with toothpaste.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, it’s important to note that toothpaste should only be used for cleaning metals and hard gemstones<\/strong> like diamonds, and should not be used on softer gemstones or pearls, as it can cause damage.<\/p>\n

Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your diamond ring with toothpaste:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Gather the necessary materials:<\/strong> You’ll need toothpaste (non-gel and non-whitening toothpaste works best<\/strong>), a soft-bristle toothbrush<\/strong> or a soft cloth, a small bowl of warm water, and a lint-free cloth for drying.<\/li>\n
  2. Prepare the cleaning solution:<\/strong> Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto the toothbrush or cloth. Make sure to use a toothpaste that doesn’t contain any abrasive particles<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Clean the diamond:<\/strong> Gently scrub the diamond and the metal setting with the toothbrush or cloth. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas<\/strong> like the back of the diamond or the underside of the setting. Use circular motions to remove dirt, oils, and other residues.<\/li>\n
  4. Rinse the ring:<\/strong> After cleaning, place the ring in a small bowl of warm water<\/strong> to rinse off the toothpaste residue. Swirl the ring gently in the water to ensure all the toothpaste is removed.<\/li>\n
  5. Dry and polish:<\/strong> Use a lint-free cloth<\/strong> to thoroughly dry the ring. You can also use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting to ensure all moisture is removed<\/strong>. Finally, polish the diamond and the metal setting with a clean, dry cloth to restore its shine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Easy as that!<\/h2>\n

    \nIt’s worth mentioning that toothpaste is not a professional jewelry cleaner<\/strong> and may not be as effective as other specialized cleaning solutions (or as I often recommend; Ammonia or Mr. Clean<\/strong>). If your diamond ring has significant dirt buildup or requires a more thorough cleaning, it’s recommended to take it to a professional jeweler<\/strong> who can clean it using appropriate methods and equipment.<\/p>\n

    \nOr, just buy yourself a jewelry ultrasonic cleaner<\/a> and have fun.<\/p>\n

    \nSo get to it… Brush your teeth, and your ring at the same time!<\/p>\n

    \nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
