✨5 Easy Ways to Clean and Care for Brass Jewelry | Quirky Kanya
Share
Brass jewelry is bold, beautiful, and timeless — but like all good things, it needs a little care to keep its shine. Whether it’s your favorite hasli necklace or no-piercing nosepin from Quirky Kanya, here’s how to clean and care for brass jewelry the right way.
🌼 1. Wipe After Every Wear
Brass reacts to moisture and sweat, which can lead to tarnishing. To keep it looking fresh:
- Gently wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth after every wear.
- This removes oils, dirt, and sweat that build up through the day.
Think of it as giving your jewelry a mini spa treatment.
🍋 2. Clean Gently with Lemon & Baking Soda
When your brass starts to lose its shine, try this quick DIY method:
- Mix 1 tsp lemon juice with a pinch of baking soda.
- Use a soft toothbrush to lightly scrub your jewelry.
- Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel.
⚠️ Note: Avoid using this method on pieces with glued stones or enamel work.
🧴 3. Polish Naturally — But Not Too Often
Polishing helps revive dullness, but overdoing it can damage detailing.
Try this natural polish:
- Mix flour, salt, and vinegar into a paste.
- Rub it on gently using a cloth in circular motions.
- Let sit for 2–3 minutes, rinse off, and dry.
Do this only once a month to maintain the finish.
🌬 4. Store It Right: Dry, Airtight, and Happy
Humidity speeds up tarnish, so proper storage is key:
- Store jewelry in airtight boxes or zip pouches.
- Add a silica gel packet to absorb moisture.
- Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching or tangling.
If you live in a coastal area, anti-tarnish strips are your new best friend.
⛔ 5. Avoid Perfume, Lotion, and Water
Brass doesn't mix well with chemicals or moisture. So:
- Always apply perfumes and lotions before putting on your jewelry.
- Remove brass jewelry before swimming, bathing, or doing chores.
- Wipe clean if accidentally exposed to water.
Brass looks best when it's the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
