Fake jewelry is very beautiful even though it is not made of precious stones. However, keeping fake jewelry always eye-catching is not easy. This type of jewelry usually wears out more easily than real jewelry. Fake jewelry is tarnished by water, air, and even cosmetics. Therefore, it is important to learn how to care for your fake jewelry to stay as beautiful as possible, especially when you want to wear them for a long time.

Basic steps

Prepare jewelry that needs to be cleaned. There are no specific rules for how long jewelry should be cleaned. As a general rule, the more you wear it, the more often it needs to be cleaned. You should clean your jewelry every few months or when it starts to tarnish.
- Remember that fake jewelry is not real gold or valuable silver and is not studded with precious stones. Although high-grade silver will still tarnish, you should not clean them the way you would with fake jewelry. And “real” gold does not tarnish.
- If you are confused about the distinction between real and fake jewelry, you need to keep in mind that plated jewelry is still considered “real”. Because the outer metal layer is real gold or silver, they are still considered “real” jewelry, even if the core underneath is not real gold or silver. Therefore, you can use regular jewelry cleaning products to clean gold and silver plated jewelry instead of the methods mentioned in the article. [1] X Research Source
- If you’re not sure if your jewelry is real or fake, have your jeweler check the metal and stones. [2] X Research Source

Check out jewelry. See if the jewelry has stones attached. If so, you need to pay attention to the amount of liquid applied around that area.
- Liquid can run underneath the stone and loosen the glue that holds the stone, causing the stones to fall off shortly afterwards. Furthermore, using too much water also damages the underlying silver base, which is often used to make fake stones look sparkling.
- Do not allow water to pool and run under the stones to keep the glue from coming off. [3] X Research Sources

Try using a cotton swab or toothbrush to clean jewelry. These familiar items most people have at home and are very effective at cleaning hard-to-clean crevices or around stones. You can also try Magic Eraser foam.
- Your cotton swab will start to pick up dirt as you clean your jewelry. After cleaning, your cotton swab will be very dirty.
- Make sure the toothbrush is new, never used before. You probably don’t want the stuff in your old toothbrush to get on your jewelry. Of course, you won’t be using that toothbrush again after cleaning the jewelry, either. [4] X Research Sources
- Use a dry toothbrush with soft bristles or a cotton swab to scrub the jewelry to remove rust. Copper rust is the greenish color that forms on some types of imitation jewelry. Cotton swabs and soft toothbrushes have strong bleaching properties when dry, so they are very effective in removing copper rust. If you still can’t clean it, you should try using a toothpick.

Use ingredients available at home
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d1/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry- Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d1/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try using lemon juice to clean fake jewelry. Lemons have long been used to clean the oxidized layer that forms on metal over time. You can add some baking soda to the lemon. [6] X Research Source
- Lemon is a natural acid, and rubbing half a lemon on your jewelry can speed up the cleaning process. You can soak silver jewelry in a cup of lemon juice with a little salt overnight. Lemon is especially effective when used to clean silver. [7] X Research Sources
- You can squeeze the lemon juice into a small dish, then dab the lemon juice on the jewelry you want to clean, then use a hard towel (or green sponge) to rub it hard.

Try a solution of white vinegar and water. Soak the jewelry in the solution, then use a soft toothbrush to clean the corners and holes. [8] X Research Sources
- Cleaning fake jewelry with vinegar can help create shine. Using a soft toothbrush is also effective if the jewelry has stones in it, as the brush can clean crevices. You just need to dip a sponge in vinegar, and use it to clean jewelry.
- Another natural product that can be used to clean jewelry is olive oil. Olive oil will give shine, but be sure to wash off the oil from the jewelry. You can also dissolve the toothpaste in water. Then, soak the jewelry for a while and scrub it gently with a toothbrush.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry- Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try using hand soap and warm water. This not only makes the jewelry look better, but also creates a pleasant fragrance. However, you should use as little water as possible and limit the exposure of jewelry to water. Water can cause jewelry to tarnish and rust if left in for too long.
- Use a towel to gently clean the jewelry. It is generally not advisable to soak fake jewelry in water for too long, as this can lose its beauty or damage the jewelry. This method can work with gold jewelry with stones.
- Another way is to pour hot water into the bowl, add salt, soda and dishwashing liquid, then place the jewelry on the foil and soak in the water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse jewelry with cold water and dry completely with a soft cloth.

Use baby shampoo to clean jewelry. Baby shampoos are usually gentler, suitable for cleaning fake jewelry. Shampoo is also effective when used to clean pearls. [9] X Research Source
- Mix one drop of infant shampoo with one drop of water. Use a soft toothbrush or cotton swab to clean hard-to-reach areas. Stir in the shampoo solution until it has a thick soup-like texture. Add a few drops of water if the solution is too thick. [10] X Research Source
- Quickly rinse the shampoo with cold water and pat dry with a soft, clean hand towel or microfiber towel.

Use lens cleaner or toothpaste. There are many different cleaning products in the home that we can use to clean fake jewelry. Lens cleaner and toothpaste can be effective for cleaning some fake jewelry.
- However, you have to be very careful! Carefully read the instructions and warnings on the packaging. Do not use lens cleaner on precious metals, and be aware that the paint or polish may come off. Also, do not use if you have sensitive skin or do not use to clean earrings.
- Toothpaste usually doesn’t cause much trouble when used to clean jewelry. You just need to put some toothpaste on the brush and rub it on the jewelry. This method can be used for many types of imitation jewelry, such as bracelets.
Use stronger cleaning products
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry- Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy polishing products specifically for jewelry. Imitation or adulterated metals will quickly lose their beauty if the right polish is not used.
- You can buy gold or silver polishing products at jewelry stores or shopping malls. Note that some conventional jewelry cleaning products, primarily intended for real materials, are often too strong for imitation jewelry.
- Simply soak the jewelry in the polish for no more than 30 seconds, then remove and wipe gently to avoid scratching or distorting the jewelry. You can use a toothbrush to clean after the jewelry is soaked in the solution.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2e/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry- Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2e/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy a bottle of rubbing alcohol at the pharmacy or supermarket. Pour the alcohol into a small bowl, then the jewelry in alcohol for about half an hour.
- After soaking, remove the jewelry and wipe off the alcohol. Dry the jewelry for about 15 minutes.
- If something is not clean, use an alcohol-based wet cloth to wipe it or repeat the process above. You can put the earrings in hydrogen peroxide and soak for at least 2 to 3 minutes. Hydrogen peroxide will bubble or bubble, which means your earrings are very dirty, and you should probably soak them longer.
- If it looks like the surface coating has been rubbed off more than the green rust, stop. Perhaps you were scrubbing too hard. You need to rub gently so as not to affect the surface coating.

Rinse jewelry with water. After applying the mixture and cleaning the jewelry, rinse immediately with cold water. Simply rinse so that the soapy water mixture is no longer on the jewelry.
- Use a hair dryer to dry the jewelry. Immediately after rinsing your jewelry, place it on a towel to dry. Use a towel to dry the remaining water. Then, turn on the dryer on cool setting, and quickly dry the jewelry.
- Move the dryer around the jewelry to spread the air evenly. Jewelry is less likely to rust and leave water stains if dried quickly. Continue drying the jewelry with the dryer until completely dry. [11] X Research Source
- Do not place the dryer directly on top of the ice cubes for long periods of time, especially when you are adjusting the dryer to a warmer setting. Thus, the heat of the dryer will not melt the glue of the stones.
Maintenance

Spray on perfumes, hair products, and apply lotion before putting on jewelry. Since water-based products can tarnish jewelry, perfumes and lotions are no exception. [12] X Research Source
- If you spray perfume and apply lotion first, these products will have a hard time sticking to the jewelry. Wait for the product to dry on your skin, then wear fake jewelry.
- This will prevent plaque from forming on your fake jewelry, causing them to fade, and you’ll need to clean the jewelry regularly.

Clean jewelry every day. If you wipe your jewelry with a clean microfiber cloth after each use, you won’t need to clean it as often.
- Jewelry will also look like new for a long time.
- Cleaning jewelry every day also limits the number of times it comes into contact with water or cleans things that cling to jewelry while it is worn.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/56/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry- Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/56/Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-Fake-Jewelry-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Store jewelry properly. You should try storing your jewelry in a zippered plastic bag. Only one type of jewelry should be kept in each bag. After putting the jewelry in the bag, squeeze all the air out and close the mouth of the bag.
- When there is no more air in the bag, the metal does not oxidize or turn green from exposure to air. [13] X Research Source So jewelry will look cleaner and newer over a long period of time.
- Storing jewelry in a lidded box with a layer of red velvet will limit exposure to air and keep the jewelry from getting scratched. [14] X Research Source
Advice
- Apply clear nail polish on the surface of fake jewelry to keep the surface coating green-free.
- Remove jewelry when exposed to water. Don’t wash dishes, shower, or wash your car when you’re wearing fake jewelry. You should remove all jewelry.
Warning
- Do not soak jewelry in water for too long or it will tarnish.
- Dry jewelry immediately to avoid water streaks or rust.
- Use a soft toothbrush so as not to damage the jewelry.
