AMC Jewellery Cleaning & Polishing Cloth Twin Pack

A polishing cloth like this is impregnated with cleaning ingredients and relies on controlled rubbing to lift tarnish and oils while brightening the metal surface. That makes it ideal for quick maintenance because you’re not introducing extra liquids that can creep into settings. It’s best viewed as a “surface refresh” tool rather than a deep-clean for grime trapped behind stones or inside intricate links.

Use a cloth when your jewellery looks dull from finger oils, light oxidation, or daily wear haze, especially on smooth surfaces like bands, bangles, and plain chains. Choose a dip/paste or a proper wash when there’s build-up in recesses (filigree, chain links, pavé settings) that rubbing can’t reach. Ultrasonic cleaning can be effective for some pieces, but it’s not safe for all stones and settings—whereas a cloth is usually the lower-risk first step.

This cloth is intended to clean and polish gold and silver.
Limitations matter: on gold-plated, silver-plated, or very thinly plated jewellery, repeated polishing can gradually thin the plating because polishing is (by nature) mildly abrasive. If you have intentionally darkened “antique” finishes or patina, polishing can also remove that contrast and make the piece look flatter.

Never wash the cloth — detergents remove the impregnated agents. When the cloth turns grey or loses polishing power, replace it. Store folded in its resealable pouch to prevent exposure to air and humidity, which can neutralise the anti-tarnish treatment.

Avoid using polishing cloths on soft/porous stones (for example pearls, opals, turquoise) or pieces with glued elements, because polishing residues can lodge in pores and rubbing can loosen glue over time. Also use caution on jewellery with matte/brushed finishes—polishing can turn those areas shiny and uneven. If a piece is fragile, heirloom or has loose claws, a gentle wash and professional check is safer than vigorous rubbing.

Work with light-to-moderate pressure and short strokes, focusing on the metal surfaces rather than pushing hard around claws and stone edges. For chains, pinch the chain through the cloth and draw it through rather than scrubbing individual links (less snagging, more even shine). If you see black/grey residue on the cloth, that’s typically lifted oxidation—stop once the metal brightens rather than “chasing perfection” with extra friction.

In Australian coastal or humid climates, polish every 6–8 weeks to counter faster tarnish formation. In dry inland areas, every 3–4 months is sufficient. Regular light polishing prevents the need for harsh cleaners later.

In professional jewellery care, the “secret” is often prevention: wipe jewellery after wear (especially after sunscreen, perfume, or hand cream), and store silver in an airtight bag to slow tarnish—this matters a lot in humid or coastal Australian environments where tarnish accelerates. Use the cloth as routine maintenance, then do an occasional deeper clean for settings and crevices so you’re not over-polishing the outer surfaces. The cloth size (30 cm × 23 cm) is large enough to fold into clean sections so you’re not rubbing dirt back onto the metal.

Always test in an inconspicuous area before using. Always test on a small, hidden section before first use.
