Gold (solid)

Check first

A very good fit

Solid gold without stones is what ultrasonic cleaning suits best of all.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Is the piece solid, or plated/gilded?
Are there stones in the piece?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Two drops of mild dish soap. Run 6 minutes if it is very dirty, then rinse and dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Gold is not affected by water or cavitation. AGS writes that home machines are best suited to karat gold without gemstones. What decides it is stones, plating and condition.

Watch out for

  • Plated or gilded is not solid gold
  • Stones in the piece matter more than the metal
