        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 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.
