Last time I have written a post on how to care of gold plated watches if still remember. Today I will teach you how to clean the gold plated watches. Since gold plated watches won’t remain beautiful as long as solid-gold pieces, we have to know how to clean in the correct ways to keep its nice appearance as we can. Now let’s start the correct cleaning steps.
1. Dampen one corner of a soft cloth. Microfiber cloths work great, but a plain cotton cloth works fine as well. Rub over the gold-plating. If this step cleans your watch sufficiently and makes it sparkle, go no further. If the cleaning is not yet where you want it to be, then follow the rest of these steps, always remembering to rub very gently so that you do not remove the plating.
2. Smear a tiny drop of plain toothpaste on the cloth. Start gently rubbing the inner side of the gold-plated band.
3. Finish rubbing the toothpaste all along the inside of the watch's wristband. Now start on the outside of the band. Add a little extra toothpaste if necessary.
4. Wet a new clean cloth, and rub the toothpaste off the wristband. Make sure you remove all the toothpaste. Lightly dampen a cotton swab, and place a very small amount of toothpaste on the tip.
5. Rub the swab gently over gold-plated areas around the face of the watch. Dip a new cotton swab in water (don't get it too wet), and carefully clean the toothpaste off the rest of the gold-plating. Dry the watch well with a soft cloth.
