Can cleaners of any type harm a diamond???

Question

and what should i use to clean them???

Answer 1

We use an ultrasonic in the trade this sends vibrations through soapy warm water to clean diamond and other jewellery.
At home you could use a chamois leather cloth alchol, metho.
Small cheap ultrasonics are available. The G.I.A. Gemological Institute of America has a great web site www.gia.edu you could see what is available

Answer 2

Anything that would harm a diamond would first harm your hand. If you wouldn't put your hand into the cleaner, don't put your diamond in there, either.

Answer 3

No. But it can harm the gold tongs holding the diamond. Clean with soapy water, and rinse with clear water. Use a toothbrush if necessary.

Answer 4

Physical hardness does not grant immunity from other forms of harm. Anything that will affect carbon will affect a diamond.

Answer 5

No. Dish detergent and water should work well for cleaning. If you have managed to spill something like tar or paint on a diamond, you can use gasoline (I like Coleman stove fuel for this purpose -- it does not have a bad odor) or alcohol or acetone.

Answer 6

Never use a mixture of ammonia and bleach to clean a diamond.

Answer 7

you wont manage to scratch the diamond with any physical cleaners (like sandpaper). i dont know about acidic or basic solutions though, as diamond might not be acid resistant (i think it is though, as its a nonpolar substance).

Answer 8

it will probubly fog up the outside and make it not as clear. The best way to get it cleaned is to go to a jelwery store adn told them you bought it there and you need it cleaned i do it all the time
