Scarfies are great for spring, fall, winter, and even summer. You can use Scarfies to keep warm and to also have fun, especially at sporting events. Most people are familiar with beanies and scarves and know how to take care of them. Scarfies may get dirty or lose their original shape after wearing them at vigorously at sporting events. 

Below we will share some practical ways to wash and care for them in order to keep them neat, clean, and in great shape.

Scarfies can be made from different fabrics that require different washing and care procedures.

General Scarfie washing process

General process for washing a Scarfie.

Step 1: Check the inside care label: Before washing, please check the inside care label first to learn more about the manufacturing fabric and washing methods.

Step 2: Prepare appropriate detergent: Subject to the fabric, choose the right detergent. Choosing neutral detergents and avoiding strong stain removers or bleach detergents is a good idea.

Step 3: Place the Scarfie in lukewarm water, add the appropriate detergent, agitate slowly and scrub gently. Please be careful not to scrub too hard to avoid deformation or pulling of the product.

Step 4: Rinse clean: Rinse the Scarfie with clean water and remove any detergent from the product.

Step 5: Remove water: Gently squeeze the beanie to remove excess water, but please do not squeeze the Scarfie to dry so to avoid deformation.

Step 6: Flatten to dry: Flatten Scarfie to return them to their original shape and then place them in a well-ventilated place and avoid direct sun exposure.

Step 7: Ironing: If necessary, after drying, you can use a stream iron to lightly iron Scarfie to make them flat. Use a “cover” sheet over the Scarfie so not to burn or melt the fibres.

Please note that some Scarfies are made differently and of different fabrics that require different care and washing methods. So before washing and caring for your Scarfie, please read the care label.

Can a Scarfie Be Machine Washed?

The answer is yes; however, this is not recommended. Before putting clothing and Scarfie in the washing machine, fill the machine with Cold water first. Don’t use hot water because it can cause fading or shrinkage. To wash the Scarfie choose the gentle mode or hand wash mode, if these are not options, please choose the rotary mode.

Note:

Ideally please place Scarfie in a laundry bag or pillowcase before washing.

How to Maintain your Scarfie

Please do not hang or clip beanies and do not place heavy objects on top of beanies. It’s easy for a Scarfie to become deformed or damaged, and could cause the sewing thread to fail due to mishandling or improper use. Please store Scarfie in a cool place away from sunlight as this can weaken the threads or cause the colours to fade. In addition, a humid environment can also harm the Scarfie. You can also fill some fibre rods into beanie hats to keep their original shapes and also insert some desiccants to prevent mildew. Please note that a Scarfie (and all beanies) can quite easily generate bacteria.
