Frequently asked questions

Here you will find straightforward advice on how to look after your favourite accessories, from fabric care to drying tips, ensuring your handmade items stay beautiful and durable.

How should I wash and dry my scrunchies and bags?
All our handmade accessories should be hand washed only. Once washed, allow them to air dry naturally to protect the fabric fibres and retain their shape.

Can I iron my scrunchies and pouches?

Please do not iron your scrunchies.

Sleeves, pouches, and bags which are made from cotton or twill can be gently ironed on a low heat setting to smooth out any creases.

Can I put my accessories in the tumble dryer?
No, tumble drying is a big no-no for our handmade items. Tumble drying can damage delicate fabrics and elastic, so always leave them to air dry.

Is it safe to use bleach or harsh stain removers?
Never use bleach on your Dottiebobsuk items. Bleaching agents will weaken the stitching and cause fabric colours and patterns to fade or discolour.

What should I do if I spot a loose thread?
Although every item is carefully quality checked, an occasional loose thread might sneak through. Do not pull it, as pulling can cause fraying. Instead, simply snip the loose thread carefully with a pair of scissors.

How do I keep zip pouches and padded book sleeves in tip-top condition?
There are no complicated routines needed. Just look after them with love and care, and your handmade accessories will easily last you for years.

Where can I ask for advice about a specific fabric?
If you ever have any questions about caring for a specific material or order, feel free to reach out to us and we will gladly help you keep your accessory in great shape.
