Quick answer
Clean your gold-plated nipple pasties with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry them completely before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking to protect the plating and adhesive.
Why gentle cleaning matters
Gold plating adds a thin layer of precious metal that can wear off over time if scrubbed or exposed to strong cleaners. Your 24k gold plated nipplets from Bordelle are handcrafted in France and designed to be reused, so treating them carefully helps maintain their shine and extends their life.
What to avoid
Never soak your pasties in water or cleaning solutions. The adhesive strips and the plating can both be damaged by prolonged moisture. Also avoid abrasive sponges, alcohol-based wipes, and ultrasonic cleaners.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Remove adhesive strips carefully: Peel off the used adhesive circular strips from the back of each pasty. Pull gently from the edge to avoid bending the metal. Do not reuse adhesive strips – they are designed for single use to maintain hygiene and adhesion.
- Wipe with a soft damp cloth: Dampen a microfiber or lint-free cloth with lukewarm water. Add a tiny drop of mild, non-abrasive soap (like dish soap or hand soap). Gently wipe the gold-plated surface in one direction. Avoid rubbing back and forth – it can create micro-scratches on the plating.
- Rinse and dry immediately: Use a second damp cloth (no soap) to remove any residue, then pat dry with a soft towel. Let them air-dry completely for 10-15 minutes before storing. Any leftover moisture can tarnish the gold or weaken future adhesive strips.
- Store in the display box: Place the pasties back in the beautiful display box they came in, separated by a soft cloth or tissue paper to prevent scratching. Keep them away from direct sunlight and humidity – a cool, dry drawer works best.
