Fortunately, cleaning a moissanite ring at home is a simple process that can be done with just a few household items and a little bit of patience.

Tools and Materials You Will Need
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush
  • Mild dish soap
  • Warm water
  • A lint-free cloth
  • A bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions for Cleaning a Moissanite Ring at Home
Step 1: Prepare a Cleaning Solution
The first step to cleaning a moissanite ring at home is to prepare a cleaning solution. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap. The dish soap will help to loosen any dirt and grime on the ring without damaging the gemstone.
Step 2: Soak the Ring
Once you have prepared the cleaning solution, soak the moissanite ring in the bowl for 15-20 minutes. This will allow the soap to penetrate any dirt or grime on the ring, making it easier to clean.
Step 3: Scrub the Ring
After the ring has soaked for 15-20 minutes, remove it from the bowl and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the ring. Pay extra attention to any crevices or prongs on the ring, as these areas are more likely to collect dirt and grime. Be gentle when scrubbing the ring, as moissanite is a hard gemstone that can scratch other materials.

Step 4: Rinse the Ring
Once you have finished scrubbing the ring, rinse it thoroughly under warm running water to remove any soap residue. Be sure to rinse the ring thoroughly to ensure that all of the soap is removed, as soap residue can leave a film on the ring and make it look dull.
Step 5: Dry the Ring
After rinsing the ring, use a lint-free cloth to dry it. Be sure to dry the ring thoroughly, as any moisture left on the ring can lead to water stains or other damage.
Tips for Keeping Your Moissanite Ring Clean
While cleaning your moissanite ring at home is a simple and effective way to restore its beauty and shine, there are also steps you can take to keep your ring clean and well-maintained daily. Here are some tips to help you keep your moissanite ring looking its best.
1. Remove your ring before showering, swimming, or doing any activities that may expose it to chemicals or abrasive surfaces. This will help to prevent damage or discoloration to the gemstone.
2.Avoid wearing your ring while applying lotion, perfume, or other beauty products, as these can leave residues that can dull the stone. If you do need to apply these products while wearing your ring, be sure to clean it regularly to remove any buildup.
3. Store your ring in a clean, dry place when you're not wearing it, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box. This will help to protect the ring from scratches and other damage, and will also help to keep it clean and free from dust and dirt.
4. Have your ring professionally cleaned and inspected regularly. A jeweler can clean your ring using professional-grade equipment and solutions, and can also inspect it for any damage or wear and tear that may need to be addressed.
How Often Should I Clean My Moissanite Rings?
Cleaning your moissanite ring regularly is essential to maintain its beauty and sparkle. Over time, dirt, oils, and other substances can build up on the ring, causing it to look dull and less brilliant than it once did. How often you should clean your moissanite rings will depend on a variety of factors, including how often you wear them, your lifestyle, and the type of ring you have.
1. Wear and Lifestyle
If you wear your moissanite rings every day and lead an active lifestyle, you may need to clean them more frequently than someone who wears them less often. For example, if you work with your hands or regularly engage in activities that expose your ring to dirt and grime, you may need to clean it more often to keep it looking its best.
2. Type of Ring
The type of ring you have can also affect how often you need to clean it. For example, if your ring has a lot of crevices or intricate details, such as Halo moissanite ring, it may collect more dirt and grime than a simple solitaire ring. Similarly, if your ring has a lot of smaller diamonds or other gemstones, it may require more frequent cleaning to keep the stones looking their best.
3. Cleaning Methods
It is recommended that you clean your moissanite ring at least once every two weeks to maintain its sparkle and shine. However, if you wear your ring daily or lead an active life, you may need to clean it more frequently. Likewise, if your ring has many smaller stones, such as Half Eternity moissanite ring, it may need to be cleaned more frequently to keep it in tip-top shape.
What Not to Use When Cleaning Your Moissanite Ring
The only thing worse than a ring that has lost its shine is a ring that has been damaged due to improper care. You shouldn't use household cleaners such as bleach, chlorine and acetone. These harsh chemicals can break down some of the base metals in your ring. Also, never use any kind of abrasive products such as toothpaste, baking soda or any powdered cleaners, they can easily scratch metals, especially gold.
The cleaning method you use will affect how often you should clean your moissanite ring. Some cleaning methods are gentler and can be used more frequently, while others may be more abrasive and should only be used sparingly. For example, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild dish soap is a gentle way to clean your ring and can be used more frequently than harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners.
When cleaning your moissanite rings, be sure to use gentle methods and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If you are unsure how to clean your ring properly, consult a jeweler or use a professional cleaning service to ensure that your ring is cleaned safely and effectively.
Don't Use Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaners at Home
While the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner does produce a sparkling effect, the machine works by sending vibrations through the water and cleaning solution over a few minutes. All of this vigorous movement can cause a gemstone to become loose or even fall out of the machine. While a professional jeweler can test if the stone is still intact and secure it on the spot, if one of your pavé stones comes loose in the machine, you won't know it at home - unless, of course, it falls out completely, in which case you want your ring insured and have to go to a jeweler anyway.
Where to Get Your Moissanite Ring Professionally Cleaned
If your ring came from a local jeweler, there is a good chance that professional cleaning is offered as a free lifetime service. It is best to have your ring cleaned where you purchased it, as the jeweler is most familiar with your specific ring and how to care for it. When looking for a new place to have your ring cleaned, talk to the jeweler who will perform the service. You want to find someone who is similar in material, age and construction to your jewelry and who has knowledge of the jewelry you own for its care..
