How to Clean Gold Jewellery at Home: Expert-Approved Methods

By Dhirsons Jewellers, Karol Bagh | Trusted Since 1965

Over time, even the most elegant gold jewellery can lose its shine due to exposure to daily wear, dust, and skin products. Fortunately, there are safe ways to restore its sparkle from the comfort of your home. At Dhirsons Jewellers Karol Bagh, we’ve been helping families maintain their jewellery since 1965. Here's our expert guide.

1. Mild Soap & Warm Water Soak (Best for Everyday Wear)

• Mix a bowl of warm (not hot) water and a few drops of gentle dish soap.
• Soak your gold jewellery for 15–20 minutes.
• Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
• Rinse under clean lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Note: Avoid using this method on pearl or antique jewellery.

2. Baking Soda Paste (For Tough Tarnish)

• Create a paste using 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water.
• Apply gently with your fingers or a soft cloth.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Caution: Do not use this on gold-plated, Kundan, Polki, or bridal sets.

3. Professional Cleaning for Polki, Kundan & Bridal Jewellery

Jewellery featuring uncut diamonds (Polki), Kundan, or Jadau work is delicate and often includes lac or foiling. Water or abrasives may damage these intricate pieces. Visit our store for free in-store cleaning and inspection.

4. How Often Should You Clean Gold Jewellery?

• Daily wear pieces: Clean every 2–3 weeks.
• Occasional wear: Clean every 2–3 months.
• Bridal sets: Get professionally cleaned annually.

5. Preventive Tips to Keep Gold Shining

• Remove gold jewellery before showering, exercising, or swimming.
• Wipe with a clean cloth after every wear to remove oils and sweat.
• Store in soft pouches to avoid scratches and tangling.
