These recycled materials will oxidize (tarnish) over time, but there are several things you can do to prolong the original look of your bracelets. Be sure to apply beauty products such as lotions, perfumes, hairspray, and deodorants before putting on your bracelets to minimize the rubbing of your jewelry against these chemicals. And be sure you take your jewelry off while swimming, bathing, exercising or doing household chores with abrasive cleaners.
We highly recommend cleaning your bracelet regularly to get rid of trapped oils and dirt. These oils overtime will cause tarnishing on the bracelet, and may leave black marks on your skin. To clean Alex and Ani bangles is very easy.
You will need: • Clean, soft tooth brush • Dawn dish soap • Water • Soft Cloth
- Rinse your bracelet with clean water and lather with soap.
- Using your soft tooth brush, gently scrub your bracelet, clean crystals if necessary.
- Thoroughly dry each bracelet before wearing or storing.
- Use a polishing cloth if you like. (Do NOT use jewelry cleaner!)
