Best Answer

You clean fresh water pearls just like any other kind of pearls. A watered-down solution of water and toothpaste (non-whitening). It's really easy. For complete instructions see the Related Link: How to Clean Cultured Pearl Necklaces.

Cleaning pearls is not complicated. After you wear them, just wipe them off with a soft cloth or chamois which can be dry or damp. This will prevent the dirt from accumulating and keep perspiration, which is slightly acidic, from eating away at the pearl nacre.

1. Do not use commercial jewelry cleaners on pearls unless the labels say they are safe for pearls. Many of them contain ammonia, which will cause deterioration.

2. Never clean pearls in an ultrasonic cleaner. It can damage the pearls and wash out the color if the pearls have been dyed.

Do not store them with other jewelry, keep them separate because other jewels and gems could scratch them. To clean use ivory flakes or other mild/non-abrasive cleaners. Put them on after you've done your hair and make-up.
