You invest in beautiful jewellery but are you taking proper care of it? In Kenya’s humid climate, gold and diamond pieces are exposed to sweat, dust, and daily wear that can dull their brilliance over time. At Goldiam Jewelers Yaya Centre, one of the most common questions we hear is: how do I clean my jewellery properly? This guide answers exactly that.
Why Regular Jewellery Cleaning Matters
Dirt, oils, and lotions build up on jewellery surfaces and in settings, reducing sparkle and lustre. For diamond pieces especially, even a thin film of residue can dramatically reduce how light is reflected, making your stone look lifeless. Regular cleaning restores their natural brilliance and it’s easier than most people think.
How to Clean Gold Jewellery at Home
Gold jewellery care tips don’t have to be complicated. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water. Soak your gold piece for 1520 minutes, then use a soft bristle toothbrush to gently scrub crevices. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a lint free cloth. This simple routine, recommended by our team at Goldiam Jewelers Yaya Centre, works beautifully for everyday maintenance.
- What to Avoid
Diamond Jewellery Cleaning Tips
Diamond jewellery cleaning requires gentle but thorough care. The soap and water method works well for diamonds. For a deeper clean, use a commercial jewellery cleaning solution designed for diamonds. Soak the piece, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the stone where grease collects most.
- Use warm (not hot) water to avoid thermal shock
- Soft toothbrush for hard to reach settings
- Rinse under running water to remove all soap
- Dry with a microfibre cloth to prevent water spots

Storing Your Jewellery Properly
Proper storage is part of good gold jewellery care. Store each piece separately in soft pouches or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching. Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humidity. Always remove jewellery before applying perfume or lotion, as chemicals can tarnish gold and cloud gemstones.
