Miyuki Delica glass beads are known for their precision and brilliance, but even the most durable beads need a little TLC to stay sparkling. If you’re wondering how to clean and maintain your hand-beaded earrings, you’re in the right place. Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Dust Regularly
Dust and dirt can dull the shine of your beads over time. To keep them looking their best:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the beads after each wear.
- Pay special attention to the crevices between beads where dirt can accumulate.
2. Spot Cleaning
For stubborn dirt or smudges:
- Lightly dampen a cloth with water (avoid soaking the earrings).
- Gently wipe the affected area, being careful not to tug on the threads.
- Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use harsh cleaners, alcohol, or acetone on your earrings. These can damage the Nymo thread and the finish of the beads.
4. Store in a Dry Place
Moisture can weaken the nylon thread over time. Always store your earrings in a dry, cool place, away from humidity.
Final Thoughts
By following these simple cleaning and maintenance tips, you can keep your Delica bead earrings looking vibrant and beautiful for years to come. Treat them with care, and they’ll continue to shine bright.
