Wash inside out, with similar colours together - On a wool programme up to 40 degrees with Milo or similar enzyme-free wool shampoo. Do not expose to high heat (e.g. bright sun, hot floors, etc.) as the rubber band will melt and lose its natural elasticity. In the event of accidents and wear, take out a needle and thread. Remember, nothing lasts forever - but it will last longer with good care. You are welcome!
