It is best not to use water or liquids as it may ruin the metals used in the jewelry. It is recommend that you use a light cleaning agent such as window cleaner, baking soda or even denture cleaning items. Using a small damp toothbrush or Q-tip will get into the small crevices to remove dirt and dust. No matter what you use to clean, be careful. Stones may crack or you may loosen them. You do not want to tarnish any of the metals. Keep your costume jewelry in a jewelry box and keep them from other items as the metals may interact and tarnish them.
