This can result in dingy and dirty wristbands that are in dire need of cleaning. How can you keep your rubber and silicon bracelets clean? There are a few methods that can be used to restore these to their good-as-new look.
Restoring your silicon bracelets to their former glory takes just a bit of elbow grease, and some simple cleaning materials that you can find around the house. Here are a few things you can try:
Method 1: You will need some warm water, a bit of dishwashing detergent, and a soft bristled brush. Mix together the soap and the water, then dip your wristband in the water for a few minutes.
After soaking, remove the bracelet and gently scrub the silicon with the soft brush. If the wristband has printed details on it and are not embossed or debossed, be careful not to scrub away the markings.
Once you are done brushing your wristband, wash with clean water and pat dry.
Method 2: Prepare a sponge, mild liquid soap, hot water, and cold water. You start by mixing the soap with the hot water and soaking your silicon wristbands in the hot water/soap solution for a few minutes.
Take the bracelet from the hot water, careful not to scald yourself, and gently scrub the surface with the use of the sponge to remove the dirt and stains on it.
Once you have removed all the dirt that you can see on your wristband, rinse it thoroughly in tepid water, then soak the wristband in the cold water for at least 15 minutes.
Wipe dry after removing from the water.
Method 3: If your silicone wristband has grooves in it because of the embossed or debossed design, you will need a cuticle stick and some cotton along with the aforementioned cleaning materials of the first two cleaning methods.
After soaking the wristband and scrubbing to remove surface dirt, get your cuticle stick and wrap a thin piece of cotton on the tip. Dip the cuticle stick in the soapy mixture and use the pointy end with the cotton to remove any dirt and grime that may remain stuck in the cracks and crevices of the silicon wristband’s design.
Rinse after all the dirt in the wristband has been removed. Soak in cold water after rinsing.
