Cleaning Your Swarovski Crystal

 

 

 

Swarovski recommends that you polish  your Swarovski crystal  regularly with the Swarovski  polishing cloth. If soiled, use   soft brush to wash your crystal  in lukewarm water containing  a small amount of a mild detergent. Then rinse under running  water. Dry with a soft, lint-free towel and finish with the Swarovski polishing cloth. To help you clean and care for your crystal, Swarovski has produced the Swarovski Cleaning Kit.  The kit includes a natural bristle brush with a                         Plexiglass handle, a pure cotton polishing cloth, cotton gloves and a small bag of  crystals for decorative purposes.    When handling your crystal, it is recommended that you wear  the Swarovski Gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. This will  help maintain the brilliance of your Swarovski crystal.   Swarovski Jewelry   Swarovski Jewelry is fashion jewelry, and as such, it is either gold or rhodium plated, and a certain amount of wear and tear will  occur over time. Swarovski's plating  standards are very high and under normal circumstances your Swarovski Jewelry will have a very long life. To  ensure the lasting beauty of your  Swarovski Jewelry, do not use sonic cleaners,  boiling water or commercial jewelry cleaners.  Jewelry cleaners usually contain ammonia or alcohol which  can have a damaging effect on the plating. Swarovski recommends that you occasionally  polish each piece with a soft lint-free cloth. If your jewelry is very dirty, wash your jewelry using warm water, a mild dish detergent and  a soft bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water  prior to drying with a soft lint-free cloth. Please note: Do not wash the Swarovski simulated pearls.  These shouldbe buffed with a soft dry cloth. Also, it is a good idea to put your Swarovski Jewelry on after applying perfume, hand cream or hair spray. Never wear your jewelry in the bath,  in bed, doing dishes or when exercising.  This can cause unreasonable stress and wear  and tear. Store your jewelry in the soft pouch or box provided by Swarovski to prevent scratching.  Chains and necklaces will retain their  shine and glitter best if they are hung up when not  being worn. Do not store your Swarovski  Jewelry in areas of excessive heat or sun exposure.
