How to Clean Moissanite at Home: Easy Guide

Quick answer: To clean moissanite at home, soak it for 15 to 20 minutes in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, gently scrub around and under the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse in clean warm water, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Do this every week or two. Moissanite is very durable and can handle most cleaning methods, but avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and chlorine that can harm the metal setting.

Moissanite's fire and brilliance shine brightest when the stone is clean. Here is a simple routine.

Step-by-Step Home Cleaning

Prepare: a bowl of warm (not boiling) water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
Soak: 15 to 20 minutes to loosen oils and lotion.
Brush: use a soft toothbrush on the top, sides and underneath the stone.
Rinse: under warm running water with the drain closed.
Dry: pat with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
