If you maintain your jade like this, it will be ruined. It’s not too late to understand now.

Jade lovers love "jade" as if it were their life, so they will regularly maintain and clean the jade to keep its value (appearance and value). However, sometimes they are too eager to maintain the jade, lack professional maintenance knowledge, and mistakenly believe in wrong remarks and fall into maintenance misunderstandings, resulting in the opposite of what they want and it is too late to regret.

Next, the editor will tell you about the minefields that often appear in jade maintenance, and help you “clear mines” in advance.

Myth 1: Using soapy water to degrease jadeite

Everyone knows that jade is afraid of oil smoke, so when the surface of jade is stained with dust or oil, people will naturally clean it. When cleaning, they always put the jade in soapy water involuntarily, wanting to use soapy water to remove the oil on the surface of jade.

But jade is not clothing after all, and cannot withstand the erosion of alkaline liquids such as soapy water. Long-term cleaning with soapy water will corrode the smooth surface of jade, making it bumpy, and even turning yellow and dark, slowly losing its luster and causing "diseases."

Misconception 2: Giving Jade a “Sunbath”

Jade will become more and more beautiful under strong light, so some people like to look at jade under strong sunlight, thinking that this can show the transparency of jade.

The fact is, jade crystallizes under low temperature and high pressure conditions, and is afraid of high temperatures. High temperatures will make jade lose its original luster. Therefore, jadeite should be kept away from direct sunlight.

Myth 3: Not wearing jade for a long time

Some people are afraid that jade will be damaged by bumps and scratches when worn, so they lock it in a cabinet or put it at the bottom of a box to avoid risks.

However, jade is a creation of nature, it is beautiful and elegant. If it is locked in a box for a long time and not worn, it will lose moisture, dry out and mutate, and lose its original transparency. Jade should be taken out and worn frequently, or soaked in clean water, cleaned, and wiped clean to keep the jade moisturized for a long time.

Myth 4: Using Ultrasonic Waves to Clean Jade

In order to clean the dust on the surface of jade, some people choose to use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean jade, using high-frequency vibration ultrasound to easily remove dust and dirt from jade.

Ultrasonic waves are not suitable for jadeite. Too frequent vibration cleaning may magnify existing hidden cracks or damage the internal structure, affecting the beauty and value of jadeite.

To maintain jadeite, we need to find scientific and feasible methods. We must not believe rumors or be self-righteous, causing unnecessary damage to jadeite.
