T I P S on caring for your W H I T E T R A S H C H A R M

Treat your White Trash Charm (precious metal) with care and it will improve itʼs longevity and lifetime. We suggest the following:
Avoid Cleaning plated jewelry with chemicals, *instead you may gently wipe it with a damp cloth.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to household cleaning chemicals (such as bleach and amonia). Avoid unnecessary exposure to heat as well as moisture.
Avoid swimming in chlorinated water. It is best to not shower or bathe in your jewelry. We recommend applying perfume or other sprayed substances before putting on your jewelry.
Store your White Trash Charm in the pouch provided with your order.
Try to remember to remove your jewelry when washing your hands (as to avoid soap chemicals).
To clean Gold Vermeil jewelry, buff VERY gently with a soft and dry 100% cotton cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Q: What causes tarnishing?

A: Exposure to a number of factors–including sulfur compounds in the air, moisture, salt, body oils, and other metals–can speed sterling silverʼs natural tarnishing process, turning a beautiful piece of jewelry from silver to black. Even contact with wool, newsprint, or rubber (including latex gloves) can tarnish silver more quickly. Following the advice above should greatly help.
