How To Care for Scrunchies

 

1. Washing Scrunchies

  • Scrunchies made of fabric like cotton, silk, or velvet, you can usually hand wash them. Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently agitate the scrunchie in the water and let it soak for a few minutes. Rinse with cool water.
  • Avoid using hot water as it can weaken the elastic over time.

 

Scrunchies deserve careful treatment to preserve their vibrant colors and soft texture, so it’s best to wash them by hand rather than in the machine.


2. Drying Scrunchies

  • Air Drying: Always air dry your scrunchies by laying them flat on a clean towel. This helps maintain their shape and prevents the elastic from getting overstretched.
  • Avoid Heat: Don’t wring them out or use a dryer—heat can weaken the elastic or distort the fabric.

 

3. Storage

  • Store scrunchies in a drawer or on a hook to avoid tangling or stretching. You can also use small baskets or jars to keep them organized.
  • For delicate fabric scrunchies (like silk), keep them in a fabric pouch to protect them from snagging.

 

With these tips, your scrunchies should stay cute and functional for a long time!
