2. Drying
- Do not wring harshly; gently squeeze excess water.
- Dry in shade to preserve color and prevent fading
- Avoid using a tumble dryer; air drying is recommended.
3. Ironing

FOR JEWELLERY
1. Keep it dry: Avoid exposing your artificial jewellery to water, including swimming pools, showers, and even excessive moisture. Water can cause the metal to tarnish or the adhesive holding the pieces together to weaken.
2. Avoid contact with chemicals: Keep your artificial jewellery away from chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning products. These substances can cause discoloration, fading, or damage to the materials.
3. Store properly: Store your artificial jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use individual pouches, small boxes, or a jewellery organizer with separate compartments to prevent scratching or tangling. Consider placing a small piece of anti-tarnish paper or silica gel packet in the storage container to absorb moisture.
4. Clean gently: Clean your artificial jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oil, or fingerprints. You can lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid soaking or submerging the jewellery.
5. Avoid excessive friction: Minimize friction and rubbing of your artificial jewellery against rough surfaces or other jewellery pieces. This can prevent scratches, chipping, or damage to the finish.
6. Handle with care: When wearing or taking off your artificial jewellery, handle it delicately to avoid bending, breaking, or loosening of components. Put on your jewellery after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray to prevent contact with chemicals.
7. Regular inspections: Periodically inspect your artificial jewellery for any loose stones, clasps, or components. If you notice any issues, repair them promptly to prevent further damage.
8. Keep away from extreme temperatures: Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect the adhesive used in artificial jewellery. Avoid leaving your jewellery in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in freezing temperatures.
9. Rotate your jewellery: If you frequently wear the same artificial jewellery piece, consider rotating it with other pieces to prevent excessive wear and tear.
10. Be cautious with plating: Some artificial jewellery pieces may have a thin layer of plating, such as gold or silver. Be cautious with rubbing, cleaning, or using abrasive materials on plated jewellery, as it may cause the plating to wear off.
