Do you have a special ring that never leaves your finger? If you use chlorine bleach in the laundry room, you might want to think twice about wearing jewellery while washing. Mary Marlowe Leverette from about.com has issued a warning for jewellery-lovers:
"Doing laundry can damage your fine jewellery. Chlorine found in bleach dissolves the alloys found in white and yellow gold. This chemical process weakens the gold and can cause stress cracking and can cause ring bands and prongs holding stones to break. All jewellery should be removed before chlorine bleach is used in the laundry room for any purpose."
I'll be jewellery-less in the laundry from now on!
