What To Do:

✔ Use mild dish soap and lukewarm water to clean.

✔ Gently rub the piece with a soft cloth or your fingers—no scrubbing!

✔ Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel.

What To Avoid:

❌ Never use abrasive pads, scrubbing brushes, or toothpaste.

❌ Avoid baking soda, polishing pastes, or anything gritty—they can damage the color layer.

❌ Don’t soak anodized jewelry in chemical cleaners.

Anodized finishes are strong, but not indestructible. To preserve that bold color:

✔ Store away from sunlight to avoid UV fading over time.

✔ Remove jewelry before using perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, or sunscreens—chemicals can dull the finish.

✔ Keep away from chlorine, bleach, or household cleaners.

💡 Pro Tip: When applying skincare or makeup, wait until it’s fully absorbed or dried before putting on your jewelry.

✔ Store separately from other metals to avoid scratches.

✔ Use soft cloth pouches, anti-tarnish bags, or compartments in a jewelry box.

✔ Wrap larger or statement pieces in non-abrasive cloth to prevent surface contact.

If your jewelry is anodized aluminum (colored), extra care is needed:

✔ Clean gently using only water and mild soap—avoid baking soda or abrasive materials.

✔ Never use silver polish or harsh cleaners, as they can strip the anodized layer.

✔ Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Unlike silver or raw aluminum, anodized jewelry should never be polished with traditional metal polishes.

✔ Instead, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth to buff gently and restore luster.

✔ Avoid polishing compounds—they’ll strip the anodized color.

Anodized aluminum won’t rust, and water alone won’t harm it. But:

✔ It’s safe for brief exposure to water—like hand washing or getting caught in the rain.

✔ Dry it immediately if it gets wet to avoid water spots or mineral deposits.

✔ Remove before swimming (chlorine is a big no-no!) or showering (due to soaps and shampoos).
