The Best Way to Clean Metal Jewelry - Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish
by John Brana Published date:August 03, 2023
Keeping your favorite metal jewelry looking its absolute best requires regular cleaning to remove dirt, oils and grime that cause tarnishing and dullness. While specialty jewelry cleaners work well for some metals, we've found nothing beats Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish for thoroughly cleaning and shining copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and even gold jewelry.
Trusted by auto enthusiasts for decades, Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish is gentle enough for frequent use but strong enough to dissolve and lift away built-up residue. The secret formula provides unbeatable brightening for neglected metals while being safe for polishing softer precious metals like gold. Here's why it's our exclusive jewelry cleaner of choice:
Effectively Cleans All Metal Jewelry
Mother's Mag works wonders on copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and gold! No need for separate cleaners based on metal type.
Bright Polishing Action
The slightly abrasive formula lifts away tarnish and oxidation, bringing metals to a brilliant, light-reflective shine with stripping to bare metal like Brasso or Tarn-X.
Safe for All Finishes
Strong enough for all metals yet gentle on soft metals like 14k and 18k gold. Won't scratch polished, brushed or hammered finishes.
Easy On-the-Go Cleaning
Just a soft cloth and small amount of Mother's makes it convenient to clean your jewelry anytime, anywhere.
Conditions Metals
In addition to cleaning, Mother's contains conditioning oils that enhance brilliance while protecting against future tarnishing.
Tips for Using Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish on Jewelry
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth - Microfiber cloths work best. Avoid paper towels or tissues that can scratch.
- Apply a small amount of polish directly onto the jewelry piece.
- Gently rub the polish over the entire surface using back-and-forth motions. Avoid vigorous circular rubbing.
- A black residue should appear on your cloth. Do not let the polish sit. Remove polish while it's wet.
- Buff off all residual polish with a clean portion of the cloth until no dark residue remains.
- For best results, give a final buff with a dry, clean cloth once all polish is removed.
- Store jewelry in anti-tarnish bags after cleaning to prevent new dirt and skin oils from re-dulling the polish.
- Repeat cleaning as needed when jewelry loses its luster. Monthly cleaning is recommended for optimal shine.
With these tips, you can easily keep all your valuable metal jewelry looking its very best using tried-and-true Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish.
