How to Clean and Store Brass Jewelry – Nalo’s Care Guide for Long-Lasting Shine

At Nalo, we love brass jewelry for its warm, golden glow and timeless style. But brass naturally reacts with air, moisture, and skin oils, which can lead to tarnishing. The good news? With the right cleaning and storage habits, you can keep your Nalo brass jewelry looking as stunning as the day you bought it.

Step 1: Gather Your Cleaning Supplies

You don’t need expensive cleaners to care for brass — just a few everyday items:

  • Mild dish soap

  • Warm water

  • Soft cloth or microfiber cloth

  • Soft toothbrush (optional)

  • Lemon juice or vinegar (for deeper tarnish removal)

Step 2: Quick Cleaning Method for Everyday Freshness

For jewelry that needs a light refresh:

  1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into warm water.

  2. Dip your Nalo brass piece into the soapy water and gently rub with your fingers or a soft cloth.

  3. Rinse with clean water.

  4. Pat dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

Step 3: Deep Cleaning to Remove Tarnish

If your brass has darkened or lost its shine:

  1. Mix equal parts lemon juice and water (or vinegar and water).

  2. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and rub the jewelry gently.

  3. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.

  4. Avoid prolonged soaking to protect delicate designs.

Step 4: Restore Shine with Polishing

  • Use a jewelry polishing cloth for a professional-level shine.

  • For a natural polish, make a paste with baking soda and lemon juice, rub gently, then rinse and dry.

Step 5: How to Store Brass Jewelry Properly

Proper storage prevents tarnish and damage:

  • Keep pieces in a cool, dry place.

  • Store in airtight pouches or zip-lock bags to limit air exposure.

  • Add a small silica gel packet to absorb moisture.

  • Keep brass separate from other metals to avoid scratches.

Extra Tips from Nalo to Keep Brass Jewelry Beautiful

  • Remove brass jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.

  • Wipe pieces with a dry cloth after each wear.

  • Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
