How to Clean Your Clay Earrings: Quick and Effective Guide

At APÖ, every pair of earrings we create is a unique work of art, designed to highlight your individuality and make you feel special. We know that taking care of your accessories is essential to maintaining that special connection. That’s why we’re sharing the best process to clean your clay earrings and keep them as vibrant as the day you received them.

1.Prepare Your Space Before you begin, make sure your hands are clean. Clay is a delicate material that can easily absorb oils or dirt. At APÖ, we believe that caring for your earrings is also an act of self-love, so take a moment to prepare a clean and organized space.
2.Gentle and Effective Cleaning: Water and Soap For general cleaning and to maintain the shine of your earrings, APÖ recommends using a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Dampen a soft cloth in this solution and clean with gentle, circular motions. Since our earrings are waterproof, you don’t have to worry about damaging them when exposed to water.

  1. For Stains: Acetone with Caution We know that sometimes tougher stains may appear. In these cases, a little acetone applied with a Q-tip can be the perfect solution. Valentina, the designer behind APÖ, uses this method to clean her own earrings and has found that when applied carefully, it doesn’t damage the pieces. Acetone is especially useful for removing residues that water and soap can’t. Just be sure to apply the acetone gently and avoid excess to maintain the integrity of the earring.

  2. Rinse and Dry After cleaning your earrings, whether with water and soap or acetone, it’s important to remove any residue. Use a damp, clean cloth to ensure there are no traces of soap or acetone on the surface. Dry them with a clean cloth and let them air dry completely. This step is crucial to maintaining the quality and shine of your earrings.

  3. Store Them Carefully Finally, store your earrings in a dry and safe place. Ideally, use a fabric pouch or individual compartment to avoid scratches or bumps. At APÖ, we believe that every piece you wear tells a story, and taking care of them is a way to prolong that story with you.

With these simple steps, your APÖ clay earrings will always be ready to accompany you on any occasion, reflecting your essence and uniqueness. We love being part of your everyday life with pieces that celebrate what makes you unique.
