Quick Answer
Clean your Bala Mat Scrunchie by hand washing with mild soap and air drying, then store it loosely rolled or hung to keep its shape and elasticity.
Why Regular Care Matters
Your Mat Scrunchie picks up dust, sweat, and oils from your mat and hands during use. Regular cleaning prevents buildup that can transfer back to your mat or cause the elastic to degrade over time.
Proper storage also keeps the scrunchie from losing its stretch or developing creases. A little routine care extends its life and keeps it looking good.
What You'll Need
You don't need special products. Mild dish soap or a gentle laundry detergent, a small basin or sink, and a clean towel are enough. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals that can break down the elastic fibers.
Step-by-Step Care Instructions
- Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Fill a sink or bowl with cool water and add a few drops of mild soap. Submerge the Mat Scrunchie and gently squeeze the soapy water through the fabric. Focus on any visibly soiled areas but avoid twisting or wringing. Common mistake: using hot water or bleach can damage the elastic. Stick to cool water and mild soap.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cool water. Swish the scrunchie around to remove all soap residue. Repeat if needed until the water runs clear. Residual soap can attract dirt and cause stiffness, so rinse until no suds remain.
- Air Dry Flat: Lay the scrunchie on a clean, dry towel and roll it up gently to press out excess moisture. Then unroll and let it air dry completely on a drying rack or flat surface away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put it in the dryer or on a radiator—high heat can shrink or weaken the elastic.
- Store Loosely: Once dry, store the Mat Scrunchie in a cool, dry place. You can keep it loosely rolled, hung on a hook, or placed in a drawer. Avoid folding it tightly or leaving it stretched over a mat for long periods. Storing it stretched out can permanently deform the elastic. Keep it relaxed between uses.
