Why This Matters

Our adjustable straps are designed for comfort and versatility, often featuring sturdy hardware like brass, coconut shell, or wood. Regular care prevents wear, preserves function, and keeps the strap comfortable and beautiful.

What You’ll Need

  • Soft cloth

  • Mild soap and warm water

  • Cotton swabs

  • Small brush (optional)

  • Clear wax (for coconut shell or wood only)

  • Lubricant like beeswax or natural oil (for metal parts if needed)

How to Do It

Step 1

Wipe down the strap and hardware with a soft cloth.

Step 2

Use cotton swabs to gently clean small crevices in the hardware.

Step 3

For coconut shell or wood rings, apply a light coat of clear wax to prevent drying.

Stem 4

If metal hardware feels stiff or squeaky, rub a touch of beeswax or natural oil for smooth movement.

Step 5

Allow to air dry fully before storing or using again.
