Caring for Your Mala

Keep your mala in a soft pouch or box when not in use, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to protect the natural materials over time. Handle the beads gently rather than pulling on the cord, and avoid exposing them to perfumes, lotions or harsh chemicals that can dull their natural finish. With reasonable care, a well-made mala can last for years of daily practice.
