Scrunchie Cleaning

People often ask us how they can clean their scrunchies! Although some fabrics are machine safe, some are not.

To be safe, we recommend that all of our scrunchies be hand washed.

How often you wash your scrunchie is really up to you! We should be washing all of our hair products, and we recommend washing your scrunchies on a "as needed" basis. This is due to the fact that everyone will have different uses for their scrunchies. If your using it daily for work or the gym, it may require more frequent washing compared to someone who may only use it a few times a week in the evenings for example. We also recommend spot treating the fabric when necessary, but if you do want to wash your scrunchie, here is how!

Lets get to it! To wash your scrunchies:

Simply fill a bowl with warm water (not hot) and add your cleaner of choice! You can use your favorite detergent, anti-bacterial soap, fabric softener, or even shampoo! (Note: Please ensure any cleaning product you use is color safe! Do NOT use bleach or any color-removing agents)
Allow your scrunchie to soak in the warm water for as long as you see fit. We recommend soaking them as little as 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
After soaking, give your scrunchie a scrub with your hands. Simply rub the material back and forth against itself. (Tip: If needed, you can also add a micro-fiber cloth in there to add some extra material to get a better scrubbing action! We do not recommend using any other types of fabric or materials for cleaning, as some materials can be damaging to certain fabrics)
After scrubbing, rinse thoroughly with cold water until free of any suds.
Air dry, air dry, AIR DRY! Machine dryers can be so damaging to fabrics and the colors of your clothes, and this includes scrunchies! So, we recommend after rinsing your scrunchie, simply squeeze out as much water from the fabric as you can, and place your scrunchie flat on a towel to air dry. Allow your scrunchie to remain on the towel until completely dry before using. Some fabrics may require more time to dry than others!

Happy cleaning!
