How to care for your Wonderband logo

Treat it well and it will hold its shape, its color, and its grip for years. A few small habits go a long way — and protect your eligibility for damage claims.

Cold

Water only

Mild

Fragrance-free soap

Flat

Air dry, never tumble

Never

Bleach · softener · heat

Step 01

Washing

Hand washing is always recommended. Wash in cold water with a small amount of mild, fragrance-free detergent. Never twist or wring the fabric — gently press water out by rolling the band in a clean, dry towel, then lay flat.

If you must machine wash, place your wonderband inside a mesh laundry bag for delicates and use a cold, gentle cycle only. Never wash with cotton towels, heavy fabrics, or items with zippers, hooks, or velcro — these snag and permanently damage the fabric.

Step 02

Drying

Air dry only. Lay flat or hang at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Never put your wonderband in the dryer. High heat permanently warps the shape, degrades the elastic and Lycra, and can melt non-slip grip linings. Do not iron or steam.

Step 03

What to avoid

Hot water of any kind
Tumble drying or any machine heat
Ironing or steaming
Fabric softeners
Bleach or harsh chemical detergents
Velcro, rough zippers, or hooks
Wringing or twisting the fabric
Washing with cotton towels

Fabric softeners coat performance fibers and permanently destroy moisture-wicking properties — they cannot be reversed.

Step 04

Restoring non-slip grip

If your wonderband has a velvet or silicone grip lining and starts to slip, the cause is almost always a buildup of hair oils, dry shampoo, or sweat — not a defect.

  1. 01Soak in warm (not hot) water with one small drop of dish soap.
  2. 02Gently rub the grip area between your fingers to break down buildup.
  3. 03Rinse thoroughly under cool running water.
  4. 04Lay flat to air dry completely before wearing again.

Step 05

Storage

Store flat or loosely rolled — never folded tightly or compressed under heavy items. Pressure distorts the shape and stretch of the band over time. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Lay flat
Loosely rolled
Folded tight
