A jewellery cleaning machine is a device that is used to clean and restore the shine of jewellery items. Depending on the principle, they are usually classified as steam cleaners and ultrasonic cleaners. These machines are effective in removing dirt, dust, tarnish and other impurities from jewellery.
JYBS prefers to recommend ultrasonic cleaning machines. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create tiny bubbles that remove dirt and grime. This type of machine is particularly effective on intricate jewellery designs and chains. Ultrasonic cleaning machines clean by physical means, but cleaning solutions can also be added to improve the results. These machines work particularly well for cleaning dirt from behind gemstones and settings.
Using a jewellery cleaning machine, especially an ultrasonic one, is very simple. Firstly, fill the machine’s tank with water or a suitable cleaning solution. Place the jewellery in the tank, making sure they are completely submerged. Start the machine and allow the ultrasonic waves to create tiny bubbles to remove debris from the jewellery. The duration of the cleaning process may vary depending on the machine settings and the level of dirt on the jewellery. At the end of the cleaning cycle, remember to remove the jewellery, rinse it off with water and dry it with a soft cloth and check the results.
