 Body Jewelry Care

There are several steps to care for and maintain the life and quality of your body jewelry. By cleaning and changing your jewelry correctly and on a regular basis, it will last longer and you will help to keep your piercings healthy and clean.

When to Wash Your Body Jewelry and How Often to Take it Out

  • When you wear body jewelry for the first time
  • Any time you change your jewelry
  • Take out and wash few weeks if you wear the jewelry all the time

How to Wash Your Body Jewelry

Wash your body jewelry using a pump of antibacterial soap which you lather up in your hands. Place the jewelry in your hands and wash under warm water for at least few minutes. Be gentle, but intentional. Clean twists and turns, around the base of posts, and any other hard-to-reach spots. After washing thoroughly, rinse well to make sure there is no soap residue left, and then dry gently with a paper towel.

Correct, regular cleaning is especially important for anodized, electroplated, and plated body jewelry as well as matte plated body jewelry or jewelry with matte ball ends. Both saliva and lotion can damage coated body jewelry over time, as well as constant wear or the use of incorrect cleaning supplies. Scrubbing/brush tools are not recommended on coated or uncoated jewelry. If you're really struggling at getting some grime out, try a SOFT brush only. Any extra friction from cleaning tools runs the risk of scratching your jewelry.

Other Need to Know Tips

  • Do not immerse or clean acrylic body jewelry or acrylic ball ends in alcohol. The jewelry will shatter.
  • Barbell tongue rings may be affected by acidic food and alcohol consumption. Discoloration is one adverse effect.
  • Threaded balls should be checked often to make sure they have not come loose while being worn.
  • Use care when tightening acrylic balls as they can be easily stripped if overtightened.
  • Be careful of snagging dangle jewelry on your hair and clothes.
