Any tips/advice on cleaning gold plate?


Recommended Posts

Good evening,

Does anyone have any tips/tricks or experiences on cleaning gold plate (by hand) on watch cases without wearing through the gold plate? Perhaps with some common household products?

Thanks in advance for your help

If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, even a cheap one commonly sold for small jewelry items, you can use it for gold plated items. Jeweler's polishing cloths and red rouge on a microfiber cloth work well.

In general, any method that avoids heavy pressure, high heat, and abrasives will be fine.

I just use a metal polish called "Silvo"  (the silver/gold equivalent of Brasso) by hand - with a rag and cotton buds.

It works so well I only use the ultrasonic to clear off residue. I also clean hands with it.
