The cotton outer can handle light spot cleaning quite well. Use a damp cloth with mild soap, and gently dab the area. Avoid rubbing too hard, as this can cause pilling or slight fading.

For deeper cleaning, hand washing is recommended. Soak the item in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry flat.

Avoid machine washing (especially if it’s part of a finished product), as agitation can loosen the twist and distort the shape.

As the product includes a core (e.g., polyester), drying might take a bit longer, so just give it plenty of time to fully dry through.
