Care and Cleaning Your ring is very easy to clean by following a few simple guidelines. To keep your ring moving freely, we recommend cleaning on a regular basis. Your ring will not spin as freely once the bearing mechanism becomes dirty. 1.For home cleaning, soak TEUFEL motion jewelry in a solution of 1 part 'Mr. Clean' (non-ammonia formula) to 1 part water for about 30 minutes. Soaking your ring overnight in this solution is fine if that is more convenient. 2.Follow by rinsing your ring thoroughly under cool running water. The ring will not spin freely again until completely dry. A blow dryer may be used for faster results. DO NOT USE AMMONIA, JEWELRY CLEANER CONTAINING AMMONIA, BLEACH, OR ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE THAT CONTAINS AMMONIA OR BLEACH TO CLEAN YOUR TEUFEL MOTION JEWELRY. Even though TEUFEL Swinger RingsŪ are made with precision stainless steel ball bearings, the use of ammonia, jewelry cleaner containing ammonia, or bleach can damage the ball bearings. Precautions To keep your ring spinning freely, we recommend that you avoid contact with the following: - Mousse - Glue - Hand Lotion - Hand Soap (we recommend removing your ring while washing hands) - Fuzzy Clothing Hair spray, hand lotion, and hand soap can all act like 'glue' if allowed to dry around the bearing. This will slow down or even 'lock-up' the movement of your ring. While wearing TEUFEL motion jewelry. avoid wearing exceptionally fuzzy sweaters and clothing. The tiny fibers can become entangled around the bearing and eventually it can require factory disassembly to remove the fibers. Our bearings are meant to 'run dry'. This means that they do not require oil of any kind. The oil can act as a 'magnet' and attact dirt into the ball bearing. Dirt and grit prevent the ring from spinning freely, and wearing your ring while dirty can shorten the life of the ball bearings. Service and Repairs Repairs and service, other than routine cleaning, should be carried out at our factory in order to maintain the integrity of your ring and protect your warranty. If your ring requires service, repair, or sizing, we strongly urge you to return your ring to the original place of purchase. If you are unable to do this for any reason, please contact us.
