Tips for Cleaning Your Swarovski Cubes

Whether you’re using Swarovski cubes for projects that you intend to keep for yourself or you’re creating jewelry pieces for those you care about, it’s important to clean the beads regularly. Proper cleaning ensures the beads maintain their beauty and luster.

The most important tip to remember when cleaning your crystal beads is to never use a harsh soap or detergent. Instead, you'll want to use a mild soap with lukewarm water. Do remember that although these crystals boast such sparkle, they are easy to chip, so you'll want to be extra careful to ensure they don't become damaged during the cleaning process.

The recommended way to clean your Swarovski cubes is to fill a small bowl nearly to the top with water. Add in a couple teaspoons of gentle dishwashing soap and make the water soapy. Next, wet a smooth dish cloth with the soap and water and gently wipe down your beads. If possible, you should remove the beads from their settings. However, if they are in a jewelry cluster or glued onto a surface, removal won't be possible.

If needed, you can always use a small Q-tip to clean your beads. This is especially ideal for jewelry pieces where the beads are secured in a setting. You can use the Q-tip to remove grime and dirt around the setting. After you are finished cleaning the beads, you'll want to rinse them with water and let them air dry.

Another excellent cleaning substance to use is ammonia. You will, however, want to make sure you don't add any more than a teaspoon per 10 cups of water. Anything more potent could possibly cause your jewelry to lose its luster.
