Unlike silver, aluminum doesn’t tarnish, but it can collect dirt, oil, and fingerprints over time. Follow these simple cleaning steps:

Basic Cleaning (Regular Maintenance):

✔ Mix mild dish soap with warm water.

✔ Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the jewelry gently.

✔ Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel.

Deep Cleaning (If Jewelry Looks Dull):

✔ Use a baking soda paste (mix baking soda with a few drops of water).

✔ Apply gently with a soft toothbrush or microfiber cloth.

✔ Rinse and dry immediately.

For Polished or High-Shine Aluminum:

✔ Use a jewelry polishing cloth to restore shine.

✔ Avoid abrasive materials, as aluminum is a soft metal that can scratch easily.

Aluminum is lightweight and durable but can be softer than silver, making it prone to scratches. Here’s how to protect it:

✔ Store jewelry separately in soft pouches or fabric-lined boxes.

✔ Avoid wearing aluminum jewelry during rough activities (e.g., sports, manual labor).

✔ Remove jewelry before handling abrasive materials like sand or rough fabrics.

Aluminum doesn’t rust or tarnish, but exposure to certain chemicals can cause dullness or discoloration.

✔ Safe with water – Unlike silver, aluminum won’t turn black in water. However, always dry it after washing.

❌ Avoid harsh chemicals like chlorine (pools), bleach, and strong household cleaners.

❌ Keep away from perfumes, lotions, and hairspray, as they can leave a residue on the surface.

Proper storage keeps your aluminum jewelry looking new:

✔ Store in soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes to prevent scratches.

✔ Keep pieces separate—don’t mix aluminum jewelry with harder metals like silver or steel.

✔ If storing for a long time, wrap in soft fabric or tissue to keep dust-free.

Over time, aluminum jewelry may lose its luster. Restore it with these methods:

✔ Polish with a microfiber cloth or jewelry polishing cloth.

✔ If the jewelry is still dull, try rubbing it with a small drop of olive oil, then buff with a clean cloth.

✔ For matte-finish aluminum, use a magic eraser sponge lightly for a refreshed look.
