2021-03-19

Most traditional jewelry is made of metal, and this specification can be traced back to ancient Egypt. However, in the past few years, many people have been injured and are looking for alternatives. Silicone jewelry came into being under this situation and has become more and more popular. Nowadays, silicone jewelry is becoming more and more popular, but there is very little information available, just because silicone jewelry is a new invention. But don't be afraid. You have come to the right place. In this article, we will discuss the best way to maintain silicone rings in order to maximize the life and comfort of silicone jewelry.

 

Basic knowledge

 

In any occasion, wearing silicone jewelry is very comfortable. However, this does not mean that we can wear it all the time, because that will encourage the growth of bacteria. For example, it is best to remove it when sleeping, bathing, or getting hands dirty. Because you may retain some bacteria when you shower, and you may retain some sweat when you sleep. Neither are catastrophic events, but they will make you have to clean silicone jewelry more frequently. What's more, a ring-shaped rash will appear around the skin. Although this happens only in rare cases, even if it is worn for months or even years, there will usually be no symptoms. And all this has nothing to do with silica gel itself. So, what caused it? This is the so-called ring rash. The rash looks like an allergy, and when you put on the silicone ring, you will find that it will form an itchy red bump on the shape of the ring. What is the solution? Clean silicone jewelry regularly.

 

Daily care

-Soaking-Add warm water to the cup, then add a few drops of dish soap. Put the jewelry in the cup and let it soak. After ten minutes, remove the jewelry from the cup and check if you can still see any dirt. If possible, when rinsing the jewelry in the cup, wipe between them with your fingers. The combination of friction and soap should help clear the final buildup.

 

-Washing—Soap and hot water can usually solve the problem, but if you want to go beyond the limit, try mixing ½ cup of white vinegar and ¼ cup of hydrogen peroxide in a bowl of boiling water and using a toothbrush. You can let it soak in the solution for 30 to 45 minutes, or you can leave it overnight. Don't worry, it will not harm the silicone.

 

-Disinfection-Put it in a boiling water pot for about 20 minutes, then carefully remove it with tongs and set it aside to dry. It will not be damaged or deformed, even in boiling water, the silica gel will not shrink or expand. You can also throw it in the dishwasher for thorough cleaning.

Do not use abrasives such as scouring pads to clean silicone jewelry. If there are details, prints or depressions on the wristband, please be careful not to wipe it.
