Titanium is a durable and low maintenance metal. However, just like any other metal, titanium can get scratched or lose its luster. Especially if the titanium is a piece of jewelry, it can be exposed to a lot of wear and tear. You should polish titanium pieces every now and then in order to restore the original metallic shine. Luckily, cleaning and polishing titanium is a fairly straight-forward process
Make a cleaning solution. You need to clean your titanium item before you can start polishing it. Fill a bowl with warm water that's large enough to fit your titanium item. Make sure that there is enough water to completely cover the item. Pour a small amount of mild dishwashing soap into the water.
Place your titanium item in the water. Make sure that your item is fully submerged in the water. Allow the titanium to soak for about five minutes.
Rinse with water. After soaking, take the titanium item out of the water. Rinse the item to get off any soap or cleaner residue. If you skip this step, the titanium could get sticky or develop a film from the residue.
Dry the titanium. Take a dry soft cloth and gently rub the titanium. If there is visible dirtiness on the item, you should see it being rubbed away. Do not use a scratchy or rough cloth, as this can create scratches on the titanium.
