To keep scrunchies in good condition, it’s important to wash and care for them properly, especially since they are often made of different fabrics like cotton, satin, velvet, or polyester. Here’s a general guide on how to wash and take care of your scrunchies:
-Hand Wash (Best for Delicate Scrunchies)
– Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
– Soak the scrunchies for about 10–15 minutes.
– Gently rub them to remove any dirt or oil.
– Rinse with clean water until the soap is gone.
– Squeeze out excess water gently, without wringing or twisting.
Machine Wash (For More Durable Scrunchies)
– Place scrunchies in a mesh laundry bag to avoid tangling or stretching.
– Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
– Avoid bleach or harsh detergents, as they can damage the fabric or color.
– Air dry scrunchies by laying them flat on a clean towel or hanging them to dry.
– Avoid machine drying, especially for delicate fabrics, as it can shrink or damage them.
– For polyester or cotton scrunchies, if you want to speed up drying, use a low heat setting on the dryer, but air drying is still the safest option.
– Rotate scrunchies: Don’t use the same scrunchie daily, as giving them time to “rest” can help maintain their elasticity and shape.
– Avoid excessive pulling: Overstretching can wear out the elastic inside the scrunchie
– Store properly: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in humid environments like bathrooms where they can attract mold or weaken the elastic. We recommend storing them on a scrunchie holder which you can buy from our website.
Regular washing, especially if you’re using scrunchies for workouts or daily use, will keep them fresh and long-lasting.
