Before we jump into how to clean your moissanite ring, we want to address the most common question about moissanite stones...
Does moissanite get cloudy?
Your moissanite is formed ethically in a laboratory, and comprises of the chemical compound silicon carbide (SiC). Your moissanite will never become cloudy, discoloured or change in its appearance. A moissanite stone will maintain its fire, brilliance, colour and clarity for a lifetime.
With everyday wear, exposure to beauty products, dirt and sweat your moissanite ring may appear dull or less sparkly than usual. This is normal and often happens with all hand jewellery. You should know, it can be avoided with regular cleaning - so your moissanite sparkles 24/7.

How To Clean
- Pour dish liquid into your bowl, along with your hot water. Give it a stir to activate and bubble-up the dish liquid in the water.
- Gently place your ring in the soapy hot water and leave for a few minutes.
- Then, using your hot soapy water mixture and toothbrush, gently scrub your moissanite ring getting into all the crevices and especially, the underside of the centre stone(s).
- Rinse your ring well under warm running water. The high water pressure will help to ensure all the soap residue is removed. If you do not rinse your moissanite ring thoroughly, soap residue may remain and your ring won’t appear as sparkly as it could.
- Pat your ring dry with a piece of paper towel, and then gently polish using your Moissanite Company polishing cloth. Ensure you dry and polish your ring thoroughly for the ultimate sparkle.
Should you get your moissanite ring professionally cleaned?
We recommend you take your moissanite ring to be professionally cleaned at least once per year. You can take your ring to a local jeweller, or get in touch with us and we can arrange your annual clean and professional polish.
During a professional clean, a jeweller will check all of the stones within your ring setting to ensure none have loosened over time, followed by buffing and polishing your ring to remove any fine scratches. Your ring will also go through an ultrasonic cleaner to remove any debris and dirt, followed by a steam-clean. If your ring is white gold, it will be recommended for your ring to be re-plated in rhodium, to maintain it’s bright and shiny appearance.
Your moissanite ring is an heirloom quality piece that you’ll love now, and forever. So, ensure you properly maintain your ring with these moissanite cleaning techniques and your ring will continue to shine as bright as the first time you wore it.The Moissanite Company Difference
