How to Hand Wash Your Scrunchies

Hand washing is the gentlest option to preserve the fabric and elasticity of your scrunchies.

1. Separate Lights and Darks – Always wash your scrunchies in separate loads to avoid color bleeding.
2. Prepare Your Wash Basin – Place your scrunchies in a clean bowl or sink.
3. Add Warm Water – Fill the basin with warm water (not too hot) and add a small amount of laundry detergent or regular shampoo.
4. Wash Gently – Use your hands to gently agitate the scrunchies in the water, making sure to clean them thoroughly.
5. Rinse Thoroughly – Once clean, rinse them under cool water to remove any detergent or shampoo.
6. Dry Properly – Lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry, or hang them to dry.

How to Machine Wash Your Scrunchies

We understand that sometimes machine washing is the more convenient option. For a safe machine wash, follow these guidelines:

1. Use a Laundry Bag – Place your scrunchies in a laundry bag to prevent damage.
2. Select a Gentle Cycle – Use the delicate wash cycle or select the “hand wash” option on your machine.
3. Cold Water – Always wash scrunchies with cold or lukewarm water to prevent any shrinkage or damage.
4. Avoid High Heat – Do not tumble dry your scrunchies; instead, hang them to dry after washing.

General Tips for Scrunchie Care

• Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can break down the elastic in scrunchies over time. Skip them when washing.
• Store Properly: When not in use, keep your scrunchies in a safe, dry place. You can use a scrunchie holder to keep them neatly stored and avoid damage.
• Wash After Use: If your scrunchie gets very sweaty or dirty, it’s a good idea to wash it after each use.

Storing Your Scrunchies

To keep your scrunchies looking new, we recommend storing them in a scrunchie holder. A holder will help maintain their shape and prevent tangling. If you have a collection of scrunchies, consider displaying them in a stylish holder to showcase your collection.
