Daily wear can damage your jewelry, so we recommend a bit of caution and some DIY care. Do not try to polish the pendant, as you will end up removing its unique coating. You can clean the inside of the pipes with a wet cotton bud. Use a dry one soon afterwards! We use the best quality waxed thread to bead our mala-style necklaces — still, please avoid pulling it to prevent damage. Every now and then, you might want to wash the mala with soap and water (rinse well!) to remove excess sweat.
