Over time, all precious metal pieces will require cleaning to bring them back to their original shine \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter how often the piece is wiped over with a polishing cloth, or soaked in soapy water and rinsed, there\u2019s no better way of cleaning jewellery than with a professional jewellery steam cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why steam cleaning jewellery is the best option<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steam cleaning jewellery is one of the safest options for bringing jewellery pieces back to their former glory. With a steam jet there is no need to use any harsh chemicals or solutions that could potentially harm the jewellery. Quite simply, a professional steam cleaner for jewellery is a quick and safe way of ensuring that the piece you\u2019re cleaning is brought back to a high shine without damaging the metal you\u2019re cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although steam is a safe and natural option, it\u2019s always best to do your research before you use a steam jewellery cleaner on certain gemstones. Diamonds, rubies and sapphires will be able to withstand the heat and pressure created by a steam cleaner as they have a higher rating on the Mohs scale of hardness. However, you may need to take a little more care with semi-precious stones such as opals and turquoise, as these are softer and more easily damaged when pressure is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to clean jewellery with a professional steam cleaner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cooksongold How To: Clean Jewellery Using Elma Ultrasonics\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dtL4KKV62Bk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First fill the funnel in the tank with water.<\/li><li>You can then add the concentrated nozzle if you would like to work on a concentrated area.<\/li><li>With an advanced steam cleaner, such as the Elmasteam 8, you can then twist the rotary knob to select your cleaning or drying option (wet or dry).
