The Wired Viking - A Viking's Dream
Cleaning and Care of Viking Wire Knit
Care:  Do NOT fold viking wire knit!! Do not crush.   If it gets
folded run it through your fingers until you gently easy the kinks
out.

Cleaning:  In order to clean properly, you need to know what type
of wire your jewelry is made from.

    Coated Copper Wire:  Viking Wire Knit  made with coated copper
    wire should never be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner!  All that
    should be necessary is gentle cleaning with a soft cloth.  The
    clasps can be cleaned with a tiny amount of  "old fashion" style
    "paste" toothpaste.

    Sterling Silver Wire:   Please also note, that if you purchased a
    piece that is sterling silver plate over copper wire follow the
    cleaning instructions for the Coated Copper Wire.         If you
    decide to clean "solid" sterling silver wire, use "old fashion" style
    paste toothpaste (Colgate has one still on the market).  Because
    of the small spaces created by viking wire knit, repeated washing
    will be necessary to remove all traces of the paste.  Also, use only
    a very small amount of toothpaste.  Silver dip cleaners are
    available, but we haven't experimented to see how work they work
    on the wire knit.

    Uncoated Copper Wire:  We actually do not recommend
    cleaning this wire, because of the beautiful patina that develops
    over time.  If you feel it is necessary to clean, use any
    commercially available copper cleaner.  Just make sure it is
    thoroughly rinsed after cleaning and before wearing again.
