Scapular care is simple, but depends on which cord you have (micro paracord or hemp). The images themselves can be washed in the shower when you wash yourself, and can withstand the washing machine.

 

For micro paracord scapulars, there is no specific care needed. You can get your micro paracord wet, put it in the washing machine, or hand-wash it. The hemp cord, on the other hand, should not be put in water if it can be helped. If you need to wash it, hand wash or shower with it on, and then lay it out straight from one end to the other, so there is no bend in the cord. You may need to secure either end under something heavier to keep it in place. This will ensure that the cord dries straight without tangling. This also applies if you accidentally get your hemp cord wet.

 

If your hemp cord gets tangled, get the cord damp and then follow the instructions above to ensure it dries straightened out.
