We suggest washing your ScratchMeNots with a mild detergent, such as a baby detergent.
*Please note: Red clothing may bleed, please wash with dark colors or separately. See more suggestions to prevent color bleeding below.
Machine Care:
1. Wash on a Cold Delicate Cycle with a mild detergent.
a. No Bleach
b. No Pre-Stain Treatment (as this breaks the silk down and causes it to tear)
2. Tumble Dry Low
a. If ScratchMeNot is not completely dry after the first cycle, finish drying by air drying.
3. Warm Iron if needed
Hand Wash:
1. Wash Mittens in Cold Water Only
a. This loosens & removes any excess dirt.
2. Wash with Mild Detergent (such as Dreft)
a. No Bleach
b. Do not use Pre-Stain or stain removal liquids
c. Do not leave silk portion to soak in water for long periods of time.
3. Agitate the water with the ScratchMeNot to finish cleaning.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Hand towel dry the silk portion of the mitten, instead of wringing, as twisting silk can break down the natural fibers.
6. Hang or lay down flat to dry
ScratchMeNot Care Tips!
To help make your ScratchMeNot last longer:
a. Use a mild detergent
b. When using the washing machine, open the mittens to prevent other clothes snagging the silk.
c. Use an low drying cycle for 15 minutes, then air dry for the next day’s use. This reduces shrinkage!
d. Hand wash
e. Use several ScratchMeNots throughout the week, so as one is washed, the others can be used.
f. Please note: Red clothing may bleed, please wash with dark colors or separately.
