How Do You Clean Moissanite?
Henry Moissan discovered moissanite, a substance composed of silicon carbide, embedded in a meteor canyon in 1893. Moissanite is scarce in its natural form, yet scientists have found a way to create the same substance in a laboratory. Moissanite stones’ doubly refractive properties give them more brilliance than diamonds, and they hold the title of the second-hardest gemstone on earth. If you keep your moissanite jewelry clean, you can ensure that it maintains its beauty and sparkle for many years to come. Prepare a solution of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. Dip an old, soft-bristled toothbrush into the cleaning solution you prepared. Scrub your moissanite jewelry lightly with the toothbrush, taking care to clean in between and underneath the stones. Rinse the piece of jewelry with clean water. Dry the moissanite with a soft cloth. Wipe the moissanite stones down with rubbing alcohol.
