Jewellery cleaning

Jewellery is like our pretend treasure that we wear with pride. But with time, our jewellery can become dirty and lose its shiny look. It's like when we play outside in the dirt and our clothes get dirty. So, we need to clean our jewellery to make it look nice and new again.

There are different ways we can clean our jewellery. Some jewellery can be cleaned using soap and water. Soap is like the bubbles we make when we play with our bath toys. We put a little bit of soap in water and then we take our jewellery and put it in the soapy water. We gently swish it around, just like when we play with our toys in the water. After a little while, we take our jewellery out and rinse it with clean water. It's like when we wash our hands with soap in the sink, but instead, we give a bath to our jewellery.

But some jewellery needs special cleaning. Like when we spill something sticky on our clothes, we need to use a special cleaner to take off the mess. For jewellery, we can use special cleaners that are sold in stores. We put a little bit of the cleaner on a cloth or brush (just like when we use a crayon on a paper) and then we gently clean the jewellery. We need to be careful not to rub too hard or we can damage the jewellery.

Cleaning our jewellery is like taking care of our toys. We need to make sure they are clean because that makes us happy and helps them stay looking new. Just like how we love playing with our toys, we love our jewellery and want to take care of it so we can wear it all the time.
