My ribbons aren't frayed.. but the rust from the safety pin has leeched in to the ribbons, so they have some brown spots on them.

I took out my old lavalier from it's box (it was in a clear box with a blue sponge-like bottom) and the spongy-stuff melted in to the chain. It was a mess! I brought it in to a jeweler, and they were able to clean it up nicely.

Fraycheck is found in most sewing and crafts stores or in the sewing/crafts section of moost department stores. Costs around $1.75 for a 1.5 ounce bottle....you only need the tiniest amount.
