How to Clean Moissanite Rings

This guide provides tips for cleaning moissanite jewelry at home, including best practices and answers to frequently asked questions.

How to Clean Moissanite

Moissanite is a durable and sparkling gemstone that is highly resistant to scratching. However, like all fine jewelry, it can accumulate oils, dirt, and debris over time. Regular cleaning not only restores its shine but also helps maintain its overall quality. 

There are several effective ways to clean moissanite jewelry. At home, you can use a simple solution of warm water and mild dish soap. For a more thorough clean, bringing your moissanite jewelry to a professional jeweler is an excellent option. Jewelers use advanced cleaning methods, such as ultrasonic or steam cleaning, and can also inspect the setting and gemstone to ensure everything is in top condition. 

By following these cleaning tips, you can preserve your jewelry’s beauty for years to come. For professional care, consult a jeweler for regular inspections and cleanings.

Best Way to Clean Moissanite Jewelry at Home

Cleaning moissanite jewelry at home is simple and requires only a few common household items. Here's a step-by-step method: 

  1. Start with warm water and mild soap: Prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of a gentle, non-abrasive dish soap. 
  2. Use a soft-bristled brush: Gently scrub the jewelry to remove dirt from crevices. 
  3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the jewelry under warm, running water to remove all soap residue. 
  4. Pat dry: Use a lint-free cloth to dry the jewelry, ensuring no water spots remain. 

For heavily soiled pieces, consider soaking the jewelry in the soapy solution for 15–20 minutes before scrubbing.

FAQ

How often should you clean moissanite?

To maintain brilliance, clean moissanite jewelry at home as needed and professionally once a year. For pieces worn daily, such as engagement rings, consider professional cleaning twice a year.

What should you clean moissanite with?

Use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials, which can damage the metal setting or dull the stone’s luster.

Can you clean moissanite with vinegar?

While vinegar is a common household cleaner, it is not recommended for moissanite. Vinegar’s acidity can harm the metal settings and compromise the overall appearance of the jewelry.

Can you clean moissanite with jewelry cleaner?

Yes, but only use a jewelry cleaner specifically designed for moissanite or fine gemstones. Avoid cleaners with harsh chemicals or abrasives.

Can you clean moissanite with alcohol?

Alcohol is safe for moissanite and can be used to remove oils and fingerprints. Use isopropyl alcohol with a soft cloth for quick touch-ups, but avoid soaking the jewelry.

Can you clean moissanite with diamond cleaner?

Most diamond cleaners are safe for moissanite, but it’s essential to check the product’s ingredients to ensure compatibility. Avoid cleaners with ammonia or harsh chemicals.

Can you clean moissanite with toothpaste?

No. Toothpaste is abrasive and can scratch the metal setting and dull the gemstone’s surface.

Can you clean moissanite with Windex?

Windex can be used sparingly for cleaning metal settings, but it is not ideal for moissanite itself. Always rinse thoroughly to avoid residue.
