Dust settles on rubber bands and hairpins, and traces of sebum and skin particles also remain on them. Therefore, such things need to be cleaned periodically.

If we are talking about elastic and fabric rubber bands, it is advisable to throw them in the washing machine and wash them at a temperature of 30 degrees.

In case the elastic bands are made of velvet or other delicate fabrics, as well as plastic or metal, they should be washed only by hand. You can use a solution of water and shampoo or liquid soap.

At the end of the procedure, all that remains is to rinse the item under running water to remove any remaining detergent.

Metal hairpins and headbands should then be wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

In addition, you need to remember the storage rules.

Avoid keeping them in the bathroom or on open surfaces.

Humidity and direct sunlight can only make them deteriorate faster.
