Cleaning seed beads query
by: April Quick

What a great question!
I do some wearable art that is hand-beaded with sequins on denim.

My first question would be about stringing material. I always make sure my thread has been pre-shrunk and can get wet.

I also avoid beads with any kind of flash coating that can tarnish or wear off.

In my case, the items can be gently sink-washed with a little Ivory soap.

If the beads are loose, I would try swishing them in a little warm water with some mild dishwashing liquid and spread them out to dry on a tea towel, making sure the holes are oriented North to South.

Goo-Gone is amazing for anything gummy or sticky..it's a citrus based product.

I would want to test a few items first.
You are smart to be conservative. I look forward to hearing from other readers about this topic!
