How to maintain jadeite in summer?

I. Regular cleaning

Jadeite maintenance involves many aspects, of which the most basic maintenance is the regular cleaning of jadeite. There are two ways to clean jadeite, one is to clean it by yourself at home, and the other is to send it to a professional jadeite store for cleaning.

First of all, if you choose to clean at home, before cleaning, put the jadeite in water for about 30 minutes, and then, use a small soft brush to brush the surface of the jadeite, the surface of the jadeite stain clean. In this process, must not be too hard, so as not to compress the jadeite, so that it produces cracks, and then use a clean soft cloth to dry.

II. Categorized placement

Jadeite should be placed separately from diamonds and rubies and sapphires. Because although the hardness of jade is high, it is easily cracked by collision. Sometimes, although the crack is not visible to the naked eye, the molecular structure within the jade surface has actually been damaged and there are dark cracks, which greatly damages its perfection and economic value.

III. Summer maintenance

In summer, it is easy to sweat, and the salt and volatile fatty acid and urea contained in human sweat will slowly erode the appearance of jadeite.

Because jadeite is often polished with wax after carving to increase its brightness, the substances in sweat often corrode the wax on the surface of jadeite, thus making the "brightness" and luster of jadeite is destroyed.

Therefore, it is best not to take jadeite in hand to play in the summer, and those worn on the body and the skin close to the ornaments, such as bracelets, pendants, etc., should often be cleaned with a soft cloth in neutral detergent, wipe dry and then polish with diamond cloth or suede cloth.

In addition to jade jewelry should also avoid long-term contact with acids, alkalis and organic solvents, such as various cosmetics, perfumes, hairdressers, etc., will have a corrosive effect on its surface. After wearing should be cold water rinse, to prevent the corrosion of jadeite sweat.
