Ask the Experts Cleaning Pewter Beads Q&A

How do you clean pewter beads?

- Betty

If the pewter beads are not plated, you can clean them using a variety of methods, including polishing cloths, ultra-sonic cleaners, steam cleaners, liquid cleaners and tumblers. If the pewter beads are plated or finished, use care in cleaning as polishing and other methods can damage the plating. Jewel Brite™ liquid cleaner is safe for plated beads and jewelry.
