Pearls are timeless treasures that add a touch of elegance to any outfit. However, keeping them in pristine condition requires proper care and cleaning. At POPLEY, we understand the value of these precious gems, especially when it comes to our Mottomo Natural Pearls by POPLEY collection. Rhea Nasta, Head of Design for POPLEY, shares her expert tips on how to clean and maintain your pearls to ensure they remain as beautiful as the day you got them.
The Importance of Gentle Cleaning
Pearls are delicate and require a gentle touch when it comes to cleaning. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure your pearls stay radiant:
1. Use a Mild Solution
Mix a few drops of mild soap with lukewarm water in a small bowl. It’s crucial to avoid very hot water, which can damage the pearls’ surface. This mild solution helps remove any dirt or oils without harming the pearls.
2. Use a Soft Cloth
Dip a soft, clean cloth into the solution and gently wipe down the pearls. Make sure the cloth is soft to prevent scratching the delicate surface of the pearls. This step helps in removing any surface impurities.
3. Remove Soap Residue
After wiping the pearls with the soapy solution, use a damp cloth to gently rub off any soap residue. It’s essential to ensure no soap remains on the pearls, as it can dull their luster over time.
4. Dry Thoroughly
Lay the pearls flat on a clean, dry towel and allow them to dry completely before storing. This step is vital as it helps the silk strand, which the pearls are often strung on, regain its elasticity. Never hang the pearls to dry, as this can stretch the silk strand.
5. Store Properly
To prevent scratching, keep pearls away from other jewelry or objects that could harm them. Store them in a soft pouch or wrap them in soft cloth or linen. Proper storage is essential to maintain their pristine condition.
6. Clean Regularly
Wiping down your pearls regularly removes oils and pollutants that can damage or stain them. A gentle wipe after each wear can go a long way in preserving their beauty.
7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never expose pearls to bleaches, powdered cleansers, baking soda, vinegar, or ultrasonic cleaners. The chemicals in these products can damage the pearls’ outer layer, causing them to lose their luster.
