Hydrogen Peroxide Clean Fake Jewelry
"On whether hydrogen peroxide can clean fake jewelry"
Today there are doubts. Can hydrogen peroxide be used to clean fake jewelry?
I have heard that hydrogen peroxide has oxidizing properties and is clean or effective on many surfaces. Fake jewelry is made of various materials, either alloys or plastics supplemented by coatings, decorated with fake gemstones, etc.
If tested with hydrogen peroxide, alloy fake jewelry has various compositions, such as copper and zinc alloys. Hydrogen peroxide may react chemically with active metal components, but this reaction may cause changes in the color and texture of the jewelry surface. In light cases, the color loses its original brightness, and in heavy cases, it may appear to be corroded, causing damage to the appearance of the jewelry.
As for fake jewelry made of plastic, although hydrogen peroxide generally does not react violently with it, long-term contact or affect its surface luster, causing it to turn black and rough. And if the jewelry has finer points, such as small gaps and textures, it may be difficult to completely remove the hydrogen peroxide after infiltration, and the residual liquid may cause damage in the future.
Fake gemstones, although some synthetic gemstones can withstand general chemical reagents, the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may affect their optical properties, causing changes in their luster and transparency.
In summary, cleaning fake jewelry with hydrogen peroxide is mostly risky and is not a good strategy. Or when looking for other methods, according to the specific material of the fake jewelry, choose a mild and suitable detergent and cleaning method to protect the jewelry.
