Keep it beautiful
Silver Care Guide
With a little care, your Mili Essentials pieces will look as beautiful years from now as the day they arrived. Here's everything you need to know.
✦
Daily Wear Tips
- Put your jewellery on last — after perfume, hairspray, and moisturiser
- Remove before swimming, showering, or doing dishes
- Take off before exercise — sweat accelerates tarnishing
- Remove before sleeping to prevent bending or breakage
- Keep away from household cleaning products and chlorine
✦
Cleaning Your Jewellery
- Use a soft silver polishing cloth for regular shine restoration
- For a deeper clean: warm water + a drop of mild dish soap + soft toothbrush
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth before storing
- Never use abrasive cloths, toothpaste, or harsh chemicals
✦
Storing Your Pieces
- Store each piece separately to prevent scratching
- Use small airtight zip-lock bags — air exposure causes tarnishing
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity
- Your Mili Essentials gift box is perfect for long-term storage
- Avoid storing in bathrooms where humidity is high
✦
About Tarnishing
- Tarnishing is a natural process — it doesn't mean the piece is low quality
- Wearing your jewellery regularly actually slows tarnishing
- The natural oils in your skin help maintain the shine
- Tarnish can always be removed with a polishing cloth
- Keep pieces away from rubber bands — rubber accelerates tarnish
✦
Earring Care
- Clean ear studs and hooks regularly with a soft damp cloth
- Ensure posts and backs are dry before storing
- Never force a bent post — bring it to a jeweller
- Store pairs together so you never lose a match
✦
Necklace Care
- Always clasp necklaces before storing to prevent tangling
- Hang necklaces individually if possible
- Lay flat or hang in a dry spot — don't ball them up
- For tangled chains: use a pin and a drop of baby oil on a flat surface
