When I use white string in bracelets sometimes the white string looks dirty even if it’s not is there any tips to help w that?

Maybe try washing your bracelet with some mild detergent so that the strings don't fray. But before washing, make sure the colors don't run as that will become another huge mess. Put just a small piece of colored string under running water. And if the color runs, don't wash it!
I hope this helped! ❤️

making sure you watch out what you touch can really help, or not wearing it as much as you would like to. white gets dirty very easily, so even though it looks beautiful it almost always gets dirty within the first couple days. cleaning it by hand washing it might help, but make sure it dries out properly or else it'll make it musty and worse off then when you first made it

I’ve noticed this with some of my patterns too. I’ve made a habit of using off white when I can. It’s barely noticeable in most cases and doesn’t look as dirty when I’m done! If you need to use specifically white, I suggest what @RavenAMZ06 said about washing them.

Hey! As someone who makes a lot of bracelets with white string, I have a few tips.
What I usually do is get laundry detergent or dish soap, and hand wish the bracelet in warm water. And I let it air dry.
