a cleansing wipe of the invention comprises a substrate . the term “ substrate ” is used because a solution / suspension is absorbed into the wipe , to allow it to clean effectively . therefore , the substrate may be formed of any suitable material , which allows saturation with an alcohol solution . cotton or synthetic cloths are two examples . it will be apparent that the substrate should be absorbent . in a preferred embodiment , the substrate is formed from a non - woven fabric , more preferably spun lace . preferably , the non - woven fabric substrate comprises a cotton fibre or polypropylene fibres . without wishing to be bound by theory , non - woven fabrics are preferred as they do not leave fibres on the surface of the diamond and they do not snag on the claws of jewellery . a suspension of the invention comprises an alcohol solution and diamond particles with a median equivalent volumetric diameter ( dv50 ) of less than 40 μm . the alcohol is defined herein as a “ solution ” as the alcohol may be dissolved in water . the term “ suspension ” is used because the diamond particles obviously do not dissolve in the alcohol solution . however , the diamond particles are so fine that they are suspended in the alcohol solution like a “ fine smoke ”, and once the alcohol solution has been soaked / absorbed onto the substrate , the diamond particles become adsorbed onto the surface of the substrate . without wishing to be bound by theory , they may be held within the matrix of the substrate by physical forces . an alcohol solution of the invention is preferably a solution of a neat alcohol in water , preferably deionised water . the alcohol is preferably in a concentration of at least 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , 80 , 90 or 100 %. any alcohol is suitable for use in the invention , but it is preferred that the alcohol is ispropyl alcohol , since it cleans without leaving any streaks . preferably , a cleaning wipe of the invention has dimensions of approximately 6 cm × 3 cm . when packaged , it is preferably folded to a 3 cm square and slotted into a packet , which may be made of a plastics material . preferably , the plastic packed it fitted snugly to the wipe and has a thickness of less than 5 mm . as used herein , diameter means equivalent volumetric diameter . this is the diameter of a spherical particle having the same constitution and volume as the particle being measured . this is a standardised technique to take into account the fact that not all particles are perfect spheres . the equivalent volumetric diameter is preferably measured by laser diffraction . light from a laser is shone into a cloud of particles , which are suspended in a transparent gas such as air . the particles scatter the light ; smaller particles scattering the light at larger angles than bigger particles . the scattered light can be measured by a series of photodetectors placed at different angles . this is known as the diffraction pattern for the sample . the diffraction pattern can be used to measure the size of the particles using well documented light scattering theory . the particles are assumed to be spherical but few particles are actually spherical . the particle diameters are calculated from the measured volume of the particle , but assume a sphere of equivalent volume . in the present invention , a composition may be said to comprise particles having a median equivalent volumetric diameter ( dv50 ) of x μm . this is a statistically derived figure that is understood in the art and this means that , in a particular sample , 50 % of the particles will have an equivalent volumetric diameter of x μm or greater and 50 % of the particles will have an equivalent volumetric diameter of less than x μm . the skilled person will know how to calculate the dv50 . one such method for measuring dv50 is given in “ iso 9276 - 2 : 2001 : representation of results of particle size analysis — part 2 : calculation of average particle sizes / diameters and moments from particle size distributions ”, which is incorporated herein by reference . the dv50 ( median equivalent volumetric diameter ) can also be measured by dynamic light scattering ( dls ). the diameter of the diamond particles is critical . if the diamond particles are too large , then they may damage the diamond by scratching it , or they may cause it to become loose in its setting . furthermore , it is necessary for the diamond particles to have a large combined surface area , so that the maximum amount of grease can be polished from the surface of the diamond being cleaned . therefore , the diamond particles should have a dv50 of less than 40 μm . preferably , the diamond particles have a dv50 of less than 35 , 30 , 25 or 20 μm . more preferably , the diamond particles have a dv50 of less than 10 μm 9 , 8 , 7 , 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 or 1 μm . in a preferred embodiment , the dv50 of the diamond particles lies within a particular range . preferred lower limits are 0 , 1 nm , 10 nm , 50 nm , 100 nm , 500 nm , 1 nm , 2 nm 10 nm or 100 nm . preferred upper limits are 2 μm , 3 μm , 4 μm , 10 μm , 15 μm , 20 μm , 25 μm , 30 μm or 35 μm . any of the aforementioned lower limits can be combined with the aforementioned upper limits . preferably , if the dv50 is expressed as x μm , 75 % of the particle diameters are x ± 20 %, preferably x ± 10 %, more preferably x ± 5 %. preferably , 80 , 85 , 90 , 95 or 98 % of the particles are within the specified range . the diamond dust ( particles ) that is used in the invention may be natural or synthetic . preferably , the diamond particles that are used in the present invention are from natural diamonds . natural diamond dust ( particles ) is commercially available . once source is the industrial diamond corporation , hatton garden , london ec1 . this dust is the by - product of the rounding process of larger natural rough diamonds within metal cylinders . the dust is recovered by cleaning the metal cylinders with an acid , which does not affect the diamonds , but does release the dust which has become impregnated into the metal during the rounding process . examples of sizes ( expressed in μm ) of natural diamond dust that are commercially available , and which are therefore suitable for use in the invention are : 0 - 1 , 0 - 2 , 1 - 3 , 2 - 3 , 2 - 4 , 3 - 5 , 4 - 8 , 5 - 10 , 6 - 12 , 7 - 10 , 8 - 15 , 10 - 20 , 15 - 25 , 20 - 40 , 30 - 40 . a range of sizes of synthetic nano diamond dust is also available commercially . in a preferred embodiment , a wipe according to the invention contains a suspension comprising between 40 % to 90 % alcohol and water in a preferred embodiment , a wipe according to the invention contains a suspension comprising 0 . 0001 wt . % to 0 . 1 wt . % diamond particles with a dv50 of less than 40 μm and 40 - 90 wt . % of an alcohol . without wishing to be bound by theory , even the presence of a very small amount of diamond particles makes a large difference to the cleaning action . this is believed to be due to the very large surface area of the diamond particles , and the fact that they have such a high affinity for grease . a cleansing wipe of the invention may be prepared by soaking a suitable substrate , such as a spun lace , into a suspension of an alcohol solution and fine diamond particles . the wipe should be soaked in the solution until it is saturated . a spun lace cloth ( 6 cm × 3 cm ) was soaked in a suspension of 70 % isopropyl alcohol ( and 30 % deionised water ) and 0 . 001 % natural diamond powder . the size of diamond powder added was 0 - 2 micron with an average particle size of 1 micron . the diamond particles were evenly suspended in the alcohol solution , and were therefore evenly impregnated onto the cloth when the cloth was soaked in the suspension . to test the efficacy of the wipe , a diamond ring was covered in vaseline until it became dull and opaque . the wipe was then used to clean the diamond and all vaseline appeared to the naked eye to be removed . the natural life , fire and brilliance of the diamond were restored .
