Organic materials in jewelry cleaning solutions can cause the ph levels to drop as contaminants are added. A pH level less than 7 is said to be acidic and solutions with a pH level greater than 7 are basic or alkaline.

While most jewelry cleaning products start out at an alkaline ph level, as dirt and oils are introduced through regular use the ph level diminishes and when the ph level gets to 7 (neutral) the cleaner will not only become ineffective as the ph level continues to drop the solution will become acidic. Bacteria will grow in organic solutions if a, bactericide preservative is not incorporated intothe formulation.

As professionals in the “jewelry care industry” for over 32 years, Rich Glo has mastered the task of manufacturing jewelry cleaning solutions, that stand the test of time. Our solution starts with an alkaline ph level and remains consistent as contaminates are introduced. Depending on how often you clean your jewelry, we recommend replacing you jewelry cleaning solution twice a year.
