Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I just bought a pair of 3 inch wristbands from Under Armour but I'm having a hard time trying to find out what the wash symbols mean as you guys don't have the same in the US as we do here in Europe. Does anyone know how you're supposed to wash 'em? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 you think you can show us a pic of what it looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I would just scrub and soak in the cold water and let air dry. Being small in all. Thats just me though, and Ive never owned wristbands so I guess you can take my advice lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 you think you can show us a pic of what it looks like? That's the wristbands. If you need a pic of the wash logos, I'll get them for you in 30 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah, I was talking about the wash logo, it may help us let you know what they mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 If you need a pic of the wash logos, I'll get them for you in 30 mins Sorry but I couldn't get a good shot on the symbols with my camera. The logos were to small and came out blurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I had to draw them by hand using Paint. Forgive me for the sloppiness :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I think it means don't put it in the washing machine and don't iron it. I understand two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I think it means don't put it in the washing machine and don't iron it. I understand two of them. I think the 4th one means that you can't put it in the dryer :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 So tdoes this mean that you can't wash them at all? Maybe like just scrub and dip in cold water like brutushayesosu suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 My bad, I meant dryer, not washing machine. I forgot for a while how I cleaned my wristbands for some reason until now . I just put them in the washing machine like a normal white wash (or color wash since yours are black) and then let them dry themselves afterwards.

GoldGlove Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 [...]I'm having a hard time trying to find out what the wash symbols mean as you guys don't have the same in the US as we do here in Europe. Well, they seem quite familiar to me. Don't bleach, iron or put it in th dryer. Don't know the first one though. EDIT: The first one means "not washable". Anyhow, I always give my wristbands to my mom to wash it in the machine. And never anything "bad" has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 they mean (in order): dont' machine wash, don't bleach, don't iron, and don't maching dry bascially handwash it and air dry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomaaa Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 if you put them in the washer, they explode. in other news, the 1" under armour wrist bands are the most worthless accessories on the face of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i'd just assume with handwashing that you use whatever temperature you want so long as you don't burn or freeze your hand :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomaaa Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i don't see why washing them is a bad idea (in the washer, i mean). as long as you don't let the colors run, you'll be fine. the only thing is you risk fading. i wash my head bands in the washer all the time, and there's nothing wrong with them, no fading, still fit perfectly. i think under armour just wants you to waste your time.

Yeah but since they're made of some sort of special fabric, I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
