We all know that now more than ever it is essential to have good hand hygiene and keep your hands clean and germ free. But what about the jewelry you wear on your fingers and wrists? Turns out that jewelry needs to be cleaned as well.  It is essential to take care to clean your jewelry with the proper cleanser.  Contrary to what you may believe actually cleaning your jewelry is better than disinfecting it. Disinfectants such as bleach, chlorine or alcohol are not safe on the precious metals of your jewelry.

The LAGOS jewelry cleaner is formulated with cleansers that gently and effectively remove germs, oils and dirt.  Most importantly it can be used daily.  With proper care you can ensure that your jewelry not only shines but is safe to wear every day.  Cleaning your jewelry is quite easy and involved soaking your pieces briefly in our cleanser before a light scrub with a jewelry cleaning brush and a rinse of water.  This ensures your LAGOS will be in top notch when you ready to wear it.

A few other key tips to note – Hand sanitizer should not be used on any organic gems, like pearls. The alcohol in sanitizer can dry out the gems and lead to surface damage or cracking. Hand sanitizer is also not safe on porous stones like turquoise. When in doubt, it is always better to take your jewelry off before washing your hands. Keep your jewelry off while you moisturize your hands as well as moisturizer can easily get into the various areas of settings on your jewelry and dirty it.
