You should clean your ring every week, if you are using any of those materials on your hands, also cleaning products can affect the clarity external clarity of your ring. First soak your ring in a warm mixture of mild liquid detergent and some water, Ivory dishwashing soap is a great choice. Then use a very soft brush and remove the dirt but only if it is necessary. You don’t want to brush your ring unless you have to.
Then swirl the ring in the mixture and then rinse off, using warm water only! Make sure you put the drain down to make sure your ring doesn’t slide down the drain. Dry the ring with a dry lint free cloth. Do not use a napkin or paper towel because they are abrasive and they may scratch the surface of the ring. Do this once a week just to wash away the week’s worth of hair products and other chemicals that may have gotten on your ring.
