THE PEARL SPA CLEANING SYSTEM by The Pearl Doctor

Our pearl care system addresses all cleaning issues arising from daily wearing of pearls. Our Rx cleaning formula is truly safe for both pearls and skin, and is earth-friendly. Excellent for thoroughly cleaning all cultured pearls, napier pearls, and costume pearls and almost any variety of real or faux pearl jewelry.

Most pearl cleaners do not address the issue of impurities and dirt building up in the drill holes of the pearls. Jewelers and stringers alike will tell you that the drill holes, where the silk thread runs through the pearl, is where impurities collect, build-up, and begin to erode the pearl, causing irreversible damage.  Our Rx cleaning formula is very efficient at removing soil from the entire pearl, including this vulnerable area. Our Pearl Spa cleaning system will provide you complete pearl cleaning and care.

THE PEARL SPA KITS

There are two options for purchasing the Pearl Spa cleaning system to keep your pearls replenished, refreshed, and beautified: the Essential Pearl Spa Kit and the Ultimate Pearl Spa Kit. The Essential Pearl Spa Kit contains the items necessary for the three Spa Tub treatments. The Ultimate Pearl Spa Kit contains all items needed for the three Spa Tub treatments plus an Ultra Soft Cloth for the Soft Chamois Therapy, four variations of Spa Treatments in all.   Please note: the Full Spa treatment is not suitable for strung jewelry due to the delicate nature of knotted silk cording, especially when it is wet. Please check each treatment for its suitability to strung jewelry before you use it on your strung pearl jewelry.

SOFT CHAMOIS THERAPY

This quick treatment will help protect your pearls from non-visible residues. Though you may not see dirt or grime on the surface of your pearls, simply handling pearls will transfer a small amount of body oil from your hands. Wiping your pearls with the Ultra Soft Chamois after handling or wearing your pearls, prior to putting them away, will provide much protection from non-visible residues. As a simple reminder to do this, keep your Ultra Soft Chamois where you keep your pearls. This therapy is suitable for strung jewelry. The Soft Chamois Cloth is not included in the Essential Spa Kit.

THE MINI SPA TREATMENT

This treatment uses the Pearl Spa Tub solution for wiping the surface of the pearls without dipping the jewelry piece in the Tub. Use this treatment for strung jewelry if make-up or hair spray should get on the pearls as you are putting them on. People who have higher than normal acid levels in their perspiration should use this treatment after wearing their pearls. For the MINI SPA TREATMENT: Mix the Rx with water in the Spa Tub according to the Directions, as noted below. Dampen the Towelette in the solution. Wipe the surface of the pearls and its setting. Special care must be taken if you are wiping a pearl strand so that the silk cord and knots are not dampened by the Towelette. Next, rinse out the Towelette, so that it is dampened with just plain water. Wipe the pearls a second time to remove any residue from the surface. Dry gently with the Terry Towel. This treatment is suitable for strung jewelry.

THE BASIC SPA TREATMENT

This treatment will help to remove most all residue on the entire surface of the pearls, flush away the body oils and dirt that get trapped in silk cording, as well as help loosen and flush away dirt that collects in tight places up against metal settings. Prepare the Spa Tub according to Directions as noted below. Place your pearls in the basket and clean according to the Directions. This treatment is suitable for strung jewelry.

THE FULL SPA TREATMENT

This is the recommended treatment when visible residue is present on the surface of the pearls, or if you are cleaning your pearls prior to storing them (not suitable for pearls strung on a silk cord). For the FULL SPA TREATMENT: Follow the Spa Tub Directions as noted below, steps 1 through 3. Then dip the small Towelette in the prepared Spa Tub solution. Then carefully wipe the soiled pearl(s), dirty metal shanks and/or settings with the Towelette. A small brush may be used on metal parts only. After gently wiping the soiled jewelry, place the item back in the Spa Tub basket again, and follow steps 3 through 5. WARNING: Do not use a brush on pearls; damage may result! This treatment is NOT suitable for strung jewelry.

HAIR SPRAY

Hair spray is especially damaging to pearls. Wait 30 minutes to put on pearl jewelry after applying personal grooming products. And then, remember to remove your pearls first before removing make-up. A good rule to remember: ALL PEARLS Last On – First Off. If hairspray does get on your pearls prior to wearing them, immediately give them the Mini Spa Treatment. Later, after wearing, we recommend giving them either the Basic Spa or the Full Spa treatment (strung jewelry should not receive the Full Spa treatment, as stretching of the silk cord will result).
