We suggest washing your ScratchMeNot products with a mild detergent, such as soap nuts, liquid castile soap, or mild baby detergent.
Machine Care:
1. Wash on a Cold Delicate Cycle with a mild detergent.
a. No Bleach or 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, run another cycle or 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 (see suggestions above)
a. No Bleach or Pre-Stain or stain removal liquids (this breaks the silk down and causes it to tear)
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
