Can I wipe plated or pearl jewelry with the cleaning cloth included with silver products?
When purchasing silver products, it is easy to get confused about whether the included dedicated cleaning cloth can also be used to care for other plated products or pearl accessories.
Because dedicated silver cleaning cloths contain abrasive ingredients that can damage plating or pearls, you should only gently wipe them with a soft, regular cloth.
MONDAY EDITION only includes cleaning cloths with silver products and does not include them with products made of other materials[1]. Generally, dedicated silver cleaning cloths are impregnated with fine abrasives or chemicals that strip tarnish from metal surfaces. Rubbing this cloth on plated products will wear away the thin coating, and rubbing it on pearls can damage the outer surface, easily causing them to lose their distinctive milky luster.
The wiping method is different. For plated or pearl jewelry, only lightly wipe surface oils away with a clean, soft regular fabric free of chemicals[2]. Heat and moisture must also be avoided. Sweat, soap, cosmetics, and intense heat cause discoloration, so take them off beforehand when exercising, bathing, or before going to sleep[3]. Wiping them with a soft cloth after wearing and sealing them to keep moisture out will help maintain their original condition for a long time[4].
The recommended number of uses or whether the included silver cleaning cloth is washable has not yet been confirmed.
