1. Always remove your jewellery when showering, bathing, swimming or washing your hands
2. Never leave jewellery in extreme heat or sunlight as over a long period of time these conditions could cause colours to fade.
3. Do not spray perfume or any other beauty products on to your jewellery. The alcohol content in some products could cause costume metals to tarnish and acrylic pieces to crack.
4. Do not wear jewellery anywhere it may get knocked or crushed as some pieces can be fragile.
5. Store each piece of jewellery in its original box.
6. In a similar way to glass, fingerprints and dust will show on acrylic. You do not need to use harsh chemicals to clean your acrylic jewellery, a simple solution of mild soap and lukewarm water is all that you need. Dry your necklace with a clean soft cloth to prevent streaking.
7. Minor scratches can be removed from acrylic with a soft metal polish (such as Brasso) and a soft cloth. Simply dab a small amount of polish onto the soft cloth and rub into the scratch, keep on rubbing until the scratch disappears. After you have removed the scratch spray a small amount of furniture polish onto the area and polish as normal. If the scratch is deep enough for you to feel with your finger nail then you are unlikely to achieve an 'as new' finish, but the scratch appearance may be improved.
