Clean gold earrings with ultrasound – so they shine again
Gold earrings are among the most popular pieces of jewelry. They are timeless, elegant, and suitable for almost any occasion. However, as with all jewelry, dust, skin oils, and cosmetic residues accumulate over time, dulling their shine. Therefore, earrings that are worn daily, in particular, require regular and thorough cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning is a particularly effective and gentle method.
Why gold earrings tarnish
Although gold is highly resistant to corrosion, it can tarnish in everyday life due to perspiration, perfume, cosmetics, or environmental substances. Deposits settle in fine grooves and settings and are difficult to remove with conventional cleaning agents. This is precisely where an ultrasonic cleaner offers the perfect solution: It reaches even the smallest areas and restores the shine of jewelry.
How does ultrasonic cleaning work?
Ultrasonic cleaners work with high-frequency sound waves. These create tiny cavitation bubbles in the liquid, which implode and detach dirt particles from the surface. The advantage: Cleaning is thorough, gentle, and even in hard-to-reach areas , without mechanical stress on the material.
