tips on washing a bracelet? by ninich 5 years ago

hello everyone!
so ive worn a bracelet for a while now and all the white thread in it got dirty and a little stained so i was wondering if anyone knows any tips to safely wash it without ruining it or using bleach like products
or just generally maybe a tip for preserving the pristine white of the thread for future projects
thanks in advance!

You can hand wash it it warm water. I usually spread liquid hand soap over the bracelet after getting it wet and let it soak for a while before rinsing and drying. You could also use some liquid laundry soap (but don't apply it directly to the bracelet since it is concentrated). Woolite is a brand of laundry soap that is designed for hand washing delicates (i.e. wool).
If you need extra whitening, you could try adding a little bit of vinegar or a little bit of spray on stain remover, but make sure you rinse it out before it sits too long.
Other tips I have seen here include putting the bracelet in a cloth bag (for protection from abrasion) and putting it in the washing machine with your cloths

ive found that handwashing smooths the thread and its harder to wash the discoloration off
i'll try to find a bag for the washing machine and go hunting for woolite alternatives since woolite isnt available where im from
thank you!
