To care for Miyuki Delica beads:
Store them in a cool, dry, and dark place in sealed containers to prevent dust and fading. When cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasives. Handle carefully to prevent breakage and potential damage to delicate finishes.
Storage:
Keep beads away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can cause some finishes to fade or degrade.
For finished jewelry, store pieces in a soft pouch or separate compartments to prevent scratches.
Cleaning:
For general cleaning, gently wipe beads with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the bead's finish.
Handling and care for finished pieces:
Handle with care to prevent breakage, as glass beads can break if dropped or subjected to strong impact.
Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, which can weaken the thread and affect certain coatings on the beads.
Be mindful that some finishes have lower durability. For example, galvanized or plated beads may tarnish, and some surface-dyed colors can rub off.
