How to Maintain YONFQE Sterling Silver Jewelry 1. Cleaning: Routine Cleaning: Wipe the jewelry gently with a soft, microfiber cloth after each wear to remove any oils, sweat, or dirt. Deep Cleaning: Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub gently, paying particular attention to crevices. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. 2. Storage: Store your jewelry in an airtight container or a ziplock bag with an anti-tarnish strip. You can also wrap it in acid-free tissue paper or place it in a jewelry box with separate compartments to avoid scratches. 3. Airing Out: Sterling silver can sometimes tarnish due to exposure to air, moisture, and sulfur compounds. Allow your jewelry to air out occasionally to prevent buildup. 4. Chemicals Avoidance: Do not expose your jewelry to perfumes, hairspray, chlorine, or harsh chemicals, as they can accelerate tarnishing.
