Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Town Talk cloth logo scratch my gold?
No. The logo is printed using a special ink so it is perfectly safe to use both sides of the cloth.
How long do Town Talk Gold Polishing Mitts last?
The Town Talk Gold Polishing Mitts will carry on working as long as they are not washed. As you use them, they will start to turn black. This is a chemical reaction rather than a build-up of dirt and shows that the mitts are doing their job.
Store them in a dry environment and you need only replace them when they are quite black on both sides.
Are the Gold Polishing Mitts suitable for gold plate?
No they are not suitable for gold plate. We recommend using our Jewel Sparkle, Jewel Sparkle Tissues or Jewellery Spray with a Microfibre cloth instead.
Can the Gold Polishing Mitts be used on gemstones?
The Gold Polishing Mitts are not suitable for gemstones. For a quick polish, use Town Talk's Microfibre Cloth, and for a deeper clean see our article on 'How to Clean Gemstone Jewellery' for our recommendations.
Are the Gold Polishing Mitts suitable for white gold?
There are 2 types of white gold - rhodium plated, and non plated, and for the purposes of cleaning it is important to check which type it is. Older pieces are more likely to be rhodium plated - the plating gives jewellery the 'white' colour of white gold. This wears off over time and the wearing would be accelerated by using the gold polishing mitts, so for this reason we would recommend cleaning rhodium plated white gold jewellery with a microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean you can also use our Jewel Sparkle, Jewel Sparkle Tissues or Jewellery Spray. NB If you have a rhodium plated piece that you wear regularly, you are likely to need to ask your jeweller to replate it every couple of years.
Some more recent pieces of white gold jewellery don't have a rhodium plate because preferences have changed. For these pieces it is perfectly fine to use our Gold Polishing Mitts.
Will the Gold Polishing Mitts polish out small scratches?
Our gold mitts are made from cloth that is 100% woven cotton impregnated with cleaning and anti-tarnish agents. The main cleaning agent is Jewellers Rouge (which gives the red colouration). Jewellers rouge is an ultra-fine abrasive intended to remove light scratches and polish the surface; it will not remove deep scratches. The cloth works by applying the cleaners to the surface of the gold, allowing them to take effect and leave a smooth finish as the cloth is swept away.

These are excellent impregnated with cleaning solution gloves, that will last a long time. When you have long chains and necklaces or perhaps a large amount to clean, they make light work of it. They would also be great for those that have gold-plated fittings (such as taps) around the home etc. to bring up to a beautiful shine. Highly recommended.
