Caring for your rosary.
A little attention keeps each piece beautiful for years to come. Find your rosary's materials below - every combination asks for slightly different care.
For Every Rosary
○
Keep away from perfumes, lotions, sanitisers, and direct sunlight.
○
Treat unknown stones as dyed, to safely protect their finish.
Wire-wrapped & stone beads
Dyed or undeyed
CLEANING
Wipe with a dry cloth. Never use water — moisture causes wood to swell, crack, or warp protective coatings.
METAL CARE
If beads look dry, buff gently with a tiny drop of mineral oil or beeswax. Keep oil off the metal wire.
STORAGE
Store in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Wire-wrapped & wooden beads
CLEANING
Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid alcohol, hand sanitiser, and wet wipes.
CONDITIONING
Natural wax oils can condition the wood but you can lightly buff dry beads with wood wax.
STORAGE
Store in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Cord & stone beads
CLEANING
Spot-clean stones with a dry cloth. If the cord gets grimy, dab gently with a slightly damp, soapy cloth and air-dry completely.
CONDITIONING
Inspect cord knots periodically near the bead holes — heavy stone edges can fray cord over time.
STORAGE
Avoid submerging in water to keep wet cord from stretching or trapping moisture against the stones.
Cord & wooden beads
CLEANING
Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid alcohol, hand sanitiser, and wet wipes.
MAINTENANCE
Natural wax oils can condition the wood but you can lightly buff dry beads with wood wax.
PROTECTION
Store in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
