Is there a way to refresh them when they lose their smell?

 

this may help, was posted by Island Star: do the following and they should be like new. Just did mine to make sure I didn't ruin yours.

 

1 - boil up kettle

2 - whilst it is boiling pour yourself a rum & coke

3 - pour hot water into a bowl and dip the necklaces into it x3 times. DO NOT let them soak! I just mean dip in until submerged and then take out right away. No idea why x3 times is the key but it's what they tell me.

4 - hang them in open window or doorway so they air dry and they should be good as new.

5. Get out photo album and reminisse whilst sipping rum and coke

This technique works well, I still have some from 2013 hanging in my kitchen window, and I do refresh them with the hot water dip every few months.

Also, LOVE the rum and coke idea!! Or Rum Punch if you have a good recipe. :D

This definitely works. Mine have lasted for years!

Note: It's OK to drink wine rather than rum&Coke while doing it. :D
