## 🧼 How to Care for Your Acrylic ID Holder

Your [**acrylic badge holder**](/collections/custom-badge-reels) is durable and scratch-resistant, but it does need gentle care to stay crystal clear.

-   **Wipe with a soft, damp microfiber cloth** — avoid paper towels, which can scratch the surface.
-   **Avoid harsh chemicals** like glass cleaner, bleach, or alcohol-based sprays.
-   **For stubborn smudges**, use a small drop of dish soap on a damp cloth, then rinse with clean water and dry immediately.
-   **Store flat or upright** — avoid stacking heavy items on top of your badge holder.

## 🫧 How to Clean Silicone Beads on Your Lanyard

The silicone beads on your **beaded teacher lanyard** are flexible, colorfast, and easy to clean.

-   **Wipe beads with a damp cloth** or rinse briefly under lukewarm water.
-   **Use mild soap** if needed — silicone is non-porous and won't absorb odors or stains.
-   **Pat dry** with a soft cloth and allow to air dry fully before wearing.
-   **Avoid boiling water or harsh solvents** — these can degrade the bead color over time.

## 🪢 How to Care for Paracord 95 Cording

Paracord 95 is the strong, flexible cording used in many of our [**handmade lanyards**](/collections/teacher-lanyard-collection). It's tough but benefits from simple care.

-   **Spot clean with a damp cloth** and mild soap as needed.
-   **Allow to air dry completely** before wearing — do not use a dryer or direct heat source.
-   **Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight**, which can fade the cord color over time.
-   **Store flat or loosely coiled** to prevent kinking or tangling.

## 🔒 Breakaway Clasp Care Reminder

Your lanyard's breakaway clasp is a **safety feature** — not an everyday release mechanism. To extend its life:

-   Slip the lanyard over your head rather than unclipping the clasp each time.
-   Only adjust the clasp when resizing the lanyard length.
-   If you need to shorten your lanyard, see our step-by-step guide: [**How to Shorten Your Personalized Teacher Lanyard**](/blogs/helpful-guides/how-to-choose-the-perfect-font-shorten-your-personalized-teacher-lanyard).
