Learn How to Clean a Pandora Bracelet and Charms

How to Clean a Pandora Bracelet and Charms? For most young girls and women, a Pandora bracelet is not just a piece of expensive jewelry but lots of emotional values are associated with it. So, when it comes to cleaning up Pandora jewelry, they feel slightly apprehensive about it. They do not want to cause any harm to the Pandora charms by using any wrong cleaning technique. The two cleaning methods that can be used for this purpose are explained below:

With Polishing Cloth
The simplest way of cleaning your bracelet is with the help of a soft and dry Pandora cleansing cloth. You can purchase it from the local jewelry store. It is also available with authorized retailers of Pandora jewelry. Before you start cleaning you have to separate the charms from the bracelet. Take out the charms and clips from the bracelet and keep them aside.

Now, start rubbing the polishing cloth over the bracelet. While rubbing, you have to be extra careful that you do not end up twisting, turning or pulling the bracelet. This can be damaging for the bracelet. For your convenience, rub the cloth from any one end of the bracelet and move on to the other end. This way you can ensure that each and every part of the bracelet is cleaned properly. After you have finished rubbing of polishing cloth over the entire bracelet, check out the bracelet if there are some dark and dull spots left behind. If you find any, rub the cloth on those spots one more time. When required, repeat it several times till you get back its original shine.

Now, it is time to clean the charms. Place a single piece of charm on the polishing cloth and buff it thoroughly with special attention to the dirty spots on it. You will find that the dirt from the charms will leave dark marks on the polishing cloth. Therefore, when you put the next piece of charm on the polishing cloth, make sure it is on a clean area of the cloth and not on any dirty spots. Rub each and every charm in the same way. Finally, assemble the charms into the bracelet and you can wear it again.

With Soap Solution
When the jewelry is in extremely dirty condition and there is a thick deposit of dirt on the surface of the bracelet, then simply buffing with a cleansing cloth is not enough. You have to opt for a deep cleansing. For this, you need some warm water in a small bowl to which one small drop of mild dish soap or hand soap has been added. Here, I would like to warn you not to use liquid jewelry cleaner or any other cleaning agents with harsh chemical content for cleaning Pandora jewelry. Even while using dish soap, make sure that you do not add more than one drop of it into the water. If you do so, the attractive look could be robbed off by the strong chemicals.

In this method too, you have to disassemble the charms and bracelet. Next, dip the bracelet and the charms carefully into the soapy water and keep it in the water for 15-30 minutes depending on the amount of dirt deposit on it. After soaking in soap water for some time, scrub the bracelet particularly the intricate designs with a soft bristled toothbrush for removal of dirt deposits. Once it is clean, rinse off the jewelry thoroughly with clean water. Then place the wet jewelry on a soft piece of cloth or towel and let it air dry. When it is dry, buff the bracelet and charms with Pandora cleansing cloth and you will be pleased to see the same sparkle on your favorite jewelry.

Now that you know how to clean such jewelry, the next big question that comes to your mind is how frequently should I clean them. If you clean the Pandora bracelet and charms with the polishing cloth after every use, you may not need any deep cleansing at all. Otherwise, you have to go for deep cleansing of the bracelet and pendant once in every two months. In case, your Pandora jewelry is in a badly soiled condition, then it is better that you take it to the authorized Pandora jewelry dealer in your area for cleansing.
