TL;DR: Clean up your jewelry with the Kathy Ireland GemSpa, on sale for $46.74 as of Nov. 14. 


You know all those sparkly rings you love? They’re covered in germs. But let’s be honest — if you’re a ring wearer, you’re not just going to quit cold turkey. 

How can you ensure your finger decorations aren’t putting you at risk? Well, first of all, take them off before washing your hands. According to an expert at Simon G. Jewelry, germs can remain trapped underneath your rings, so you should set them aside to scrub your fingers. You may also want to consider this Kathy Ireland GemSpa.

The Gem Spa is a jewelry cleaner — a case, really — that harnesses the power of your dishwasher to sanitize your rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Unlike standalone jewelry cleaners that use UV sanitation or ultrasonic power, this one is basically an enclosed case you put into your dishwasher, like a lingerie bag for jewelry.

Here’s a brief look at how it works:
