Body jewelry is a huge trend in the fashion world. Whether you’re wearing it because you like the way it looks or to satisfy your urges, sterilizing body jewelry is essential for everyone who wears them. This article will answer common questions about sterilization and give tips on how to sterilize body jewelry properly.

Clean the jewelry with mild soap and water

This will remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the jewelry and prevent you from accidentally sterilizing it during your next sterilization session.

Sterilize body jewelry with high heat for at least one minute to kill off any bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Place it in the autoclave

You can sterilize most types of metal using a steam autoclave machine without affecting its color or shape; however, there are some metals that should not be exposed to this type of pressure while they’re hot because these extremes could cause them to lose their durability over time. Consult your jeweler before putting different types of metal into an autoclave machine just in case! If you don’t want to use a large scale sterilizer than many sterilizing jewelry sterilizer bags are available on the market.

The autoclave machine or sterilizer bag will kill off any viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that could be lurking in your body jewelry; however, it won’t remove dirt from inside the crevices of the piece. Cleaning those hard to reach places is a great way to improve sterilization results by removing anything hiding deep within the tiny grooves of your favorite metal pieces. You can use a small brush dipped in antibacterial soap for this purpose – just make sure not to scrub too hard because you don’t want damage your new accessories!

After cleaning

After cleaning and sterilizing your body jewels thoroughly, let them air dry before putting them back into storage containers and sterilizing them again in a few months. This will remove any excess moisture and prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi until you’re ready to wear your favorite pieces again.
