Step 2

Pour in 1 cup white vinegar as a disinfectant and deodorizer.

Step 3

Place the wristbands into a lingerie bag, close the bag, and toss it into the washing machine. This type of bag prevents the wristbands from getting lost or wrapped around other garments or parts of the washing machine.

Step 4

Let the wristbands air-dry, because this allows the bands to keep their form and prevents shrinking and added wear.
