Never ultrasonic – the nacre is damaged and the thread suffers.
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
Pearls are organic and soft. GIA writes that pearls should never be cleaned with ultrasound or steam, and AGS warns that the thread can stretch or break when it gets wet.
Do this instead
- Wipe with a damp, soft cloth after wearing
- Let the thread dry completely before you wear the piece
