How to Clean Your Earrings at Home, the Elegant Way

Clean jewelry reflects more than light — it reflects care.

Even the most radiant earrings need a quiet moment of renewal. Over time, they collect oils, dust, and traces of your routine. At Maison Tierry, we believe in gentle rituals — and today, we guide you through one: restoring your earrings to their natural brilliance.

What You’ll Need

Small porcelain or glass bowl
Soft-bristle toothbrush (or a clean baby brush)
Microfiber cloth
Cotton swabs or tweezers

Optional (but helpful): Mild dish soap, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, clean water.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Methods

1. Soap and Warm Water

Fill your bowl with warm water and add a drop of dish soap.
Let your earrings soak for 5–10 minutes.
Brush gently to remove buildup.
Rinse under cool water and dry with a soft microfiber cloth.

2. Baking Soda Paste

Make a thick paste with baking soda and water.
Apply it gently to the earrings — focus on crevices.
Brush softly with a swab or toothbrush, then rinse and dry.

3. Quick Clean With a Cloth

Dampen a microfiber cloth slightly.
Wipe the surface of your earrings to remove daily residue.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

4. Deep Cleaning With Hydrogen Peroxide

Soak earrings in hydrogen peroxide for 5–10 minutes.
Brush lightly, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Don’t Forget the Earring Backs

They’re small, but they hold it all together — and collect more than you imagine. Soak them in warm soapy water, brush gently, rinse, and dry. A small step that makes a big difference.
