CLEANING COPPER BRACELETS

It is very easy to clean copper jewelry and keep it a beautiful copper

color. You don't have to have a store-bought cleaner, you can use

things that can easily be found around the house in most any kitchen;

vinegar, lemon juice, or ketchup! (Click this link White Tiger Tracks Store

to go to my store where you can find great copper rings,

necklaces and bracelets like my His & Hers Copper Baby Boomers

Bracelets pictured below!)

Vinegar

Place your copper jewelry in a glass, or plastic container, not

metal. I use a drinking glass. Pour enough vinegar over it

to completely cover it. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.

Rinse. Dry. You're done!



Lemon Juice

Follow directions used above for vinegar.



Ketchup

This is my least favorite, as it is a little messy, but it will

certainly do in a pinch! Simply rub your piece of copper jewelry

with ketchup on a cloth until it is shiney. Rinse.

Dry. You're done!



NOTE:

If you buy a piece of copper jewelry that has a protective lacquer on

it, do not try to clean it by any of these

methods. Be especially careful if you have

purchased a vintage piece as you could possibly decrease its

value. A lot of collectors sell pieces that have not been cleaned

by them and leave the cleaning up to the buyer if they so desire.
