How To Clean Your Alex And Ani Bracelets

Hey everyone! I just wanted to come on here and share some tips with my fabulous readers on how I clean my Alex & Ani bracelets!

I went to their store in NY when I was there last month and I ended up purchasing the Shining Sea Expandable Wire Bracelet in the rose gold finish. I originally went in to buy another bracelet but after seeing how gorgeous and unique the one pictured below was (on the left hand side,) I quickly changed my mind. Also, what I didn't know was that during the month of May, this was one of their bangles of the month and I received $5 off my purchase. It was meant to be!

While I was purchasing my new bangle, I asked the gentleman who had been helping me how exactly I should be cleaning my Alex & Ani bracelets. He suggested the polishing cloth that retails for around $6 or so. I tried looking for this cloth on their web site and no luck! I think it may be exclusive in stores only.

I asked if there was any other way to clean or disinfect my bangles and he suggested using dish soap + a toothbrush or using a mild soap + water. For optimal results, it is best to give them a nice clean once every month. I asked him if I could go ahead and use baby shampoo instead because it is gentle enough. He agreed and told me that it should do the job. That is what I have been using ever since and it has been working great for me. I do use a toothbrush to ensure that I am getting all the bacteria, dirt and build-up off. It takes maybe a minute or two to give them a quick clean and I let them air dry completely before I decide to wear them.

In case you are wondering, the other bracelet that I own is the Eye of Horus in gold. It is my go-to and what I wear every single day. Keep in mind: I have had this particular bangle for over a year. It has gone through much wear!

Also, I hope that in the near future, Alex & Ani will begin shipping to Canada! I am subscribed to their email mailing list and always read about such great deals, but I can't partake in them because I am not a U.S. resident. I also want to mention that the few retailers that do carry the Alex & Ani brand in the GTA are for the most part, overpriced and just too far away to visit from where I live.

What I love about the brand is that each bracelet has a meaning and they give you little cards about the specific bangle you are buying so you can read up on it later! It feels personalized and I'm sure many people can resonate in one way or another with the described meaning. There's hundreds of bracelets for all different kinds of occasions and there's something for everyone. Check them out in-store or online!

STAY CLASSY.

Thanks for stopping by!
