1. Cleanse Gently and Regularly
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down your beads. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking in water, especially for porous materials like rudraksha or wood. For gemstone beads, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately.
2. Keep Away from Water and Chemicals
Avoid wearing your bead necklace while swimming, bathing, or during intense workouts. Exposure to water, perfume, lotion, or sweat can weaken the cord and dull the beads’ natural luster.
3. Store Safely
When not in use, store your necklace in a soft pouch or a jewelry box away from direct sunlight, moisture, or sharp objects. Keeping it separate from other jewelry will prevent tangling or scratching.
4. Re-energize Your Spiritual Beads
To maintain the vibrational energy of healing crystals or malas, regularly cleanse them under moonlight, with sage, or on a selenite charging plate. Set intentions as you cleanse to amplify their spiritual properties.
5. Avoid Excessive Stretching or Pulling
Be gentle when putting on or removing your necklace. Overstretching can damage the stringing material, especially in knotted or elastic designs.
