๐ง Daily Cleaning and Care
1. Gentle Water Cleaning Method (Recommended)
- Use lukewarm water (77-86ยฐF / 25-30ยฐC) for rinsing
- Gently wipe with a soft white cotton cloth
- Avoid chemical cleaners, soaps, or detergents
- Clean 1-2 times per week for optimal maintenance
Why lukewarm water? Hot water can cause thermal shock to the jade, while cold water doesn't effectively remove oils and dirt. Lukewarm water is the perfect balance.
2. Deep Cleaning (Every 3-6 Months)
- Apply a small amount of baby oil or olive oil to the surface
- Gently massage with a soft cloth until absorbed
- Buff to a beautiful shine
- Never use alcohol-based cleaners

โ ๏ธ What to Avoid When Wearing Jade
Protect from Impact
- Despite jade's toughness, avoid knocking or dropping your bracelet
- Remove before housework, exercise, or sports activities
- Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches
Keep Away from Chemicals
- Apply makeup and perfume BEFORE wearing your jade bracelet
- Avoid contact with household cleaners, detergents, and bleach
- Remove before swimming (chlorine damages jade)
- Take off before hot springs or saunas
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
- Don't expose to direct sunlight for extended periods
- Keep away from heat sources (radiators, stoves, hair dryers)
- Avoid sudden temperature changes
- Never wear in saunas or steam rooms
๐ The Ancient Wisdom: "People Nourish Jade, Jade Nourishes People"
Why Does Jade Become More Beautiful with Wear?
This ancient Chinese saying holds scientific truth:
- Body oils naturally polish and nourish the jade
- Body heat stabilizes the jade's internal structure
- Long-term wear creates a beautiful "patina" that enhances luster
- Skin contact allows jade to absorb beneficial minerals

Proper Wearing Habits

- Ensure direct skin contact (not over clothing)
- Rotate the bracelet periodically for even contact
- Be patientโthe transformation takes 3-6 months

๐ฆ Proper Storage Methods
Daily Storage
- Use a soft velvet pouch or jewelry box
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Maintain moderate humidity (40-60%)
- Store at room temperature
Long-Term Storage
- Take out and wear or wipe monthly (jade needs to "breathe")
- Don't seal completely in airtight containers
- Place a small cup of water nearby to maintain humidity
- Keep away from other gemstones to prevent scratches
Pro Tip: Jade that's never worn can become dry and lose its luster. Regular wearing is the best maintenance!
