Clogged hazelwood beads/ What to do if your necklace stops working!

I made a new discovery recently. Sometimes, after wearing hazelwood, the natural oils from our bodies collect on the hazelwood beads, clogging them up, and keep them from absorbing the acid that causes our symptoms. If that happens, I just wash my necklaces in hot water and a little strong soap (I used Dawn dishsoap, but I'm guessing Dr Bonners would work, too), and gently scrubbed with a dish towel. This is not something I do regularly(that would be hard on the beads), just "as needed", if I notice my symptoms coming back. Works well, and makes my necklaces work for longer.
