We Heard That Chlorine Can be Bad For Gold Jewelry, is This True?

Chlorine is a highly corrosive chemical and could attack gold alloys, possibly causing cracking and porosity to occur in your jewelry . Chlorine is found in bleach, household cleaners, swimming pools and hot tubs. The best thing to do would be not to risk it, and remove your jewelry before coming in contact with any harsh chemicals.
