Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Necklaces and chains

Yes
Check first
No

Metal chains come out clean between the links – do not let them tangle.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Is the piece solid, or plated/gilded?
Are there stones in the piece?
Is the piece hollow (light for its size, often with a small hole)?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Lay the chain in a loose loop, not in a pile. Dry it in a towel.

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

Dirt gets stuck in every link, and ultrasound reaches where a brush does not. Solid metal handles it well. The pendant, stones and plating decide the rest.

Watch out for

  • Thin chains can tangle – close the clasp first
  • Plated chain: avoid
