Welcome back to the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I'm Rachel Lake, your host the founder and creative director at Rachel Beth Jewellery. In today’s episode, I’m excited to share some practical tips on how to keep your jewellery box in pristine condition. Just like the beautiful pieces it holds, your jewellery box deserves a little TLC to keep everything look its best. Maintaining a clean and organized jewellery box can make a world of difference, not just in how your pieces look but also in how you feel every time you open that jewellery box. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started: First, I recommend tackling the task of organising step by step. start with small sections. This approach allows you to ensure every little corner gets the attention it deserves. Next, don’t underestimate the power of a good lint roller. It’s a fantastic tool for picking up those pesky particles that seem to accumulate in the corners of your jewellery box. Just a quick roll, and you'll be amazed at how much cleaner it looks. And for those high-traffic areas in your jewellery box, where you store your frequently worn pieces, consider using a handheld vacuum attachment. Here’s a little insider tip: put a sock over the vacuum's nozzle. This trick helps prevent any tiny pieces from being accidentally sucked up while ensuring a thorough clean. Remember, these small steps can significantly impact how your cherished jewellery is stored and maintained. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I hope these tips inspire you to give your jewellery box the care it deserves.
