Figure 1-17. Hand-washing a circuit
If you hand- or machine-wash your wearables, we strongly rec-
ommend hanging them up or laying flat to dry. These methods
are vastly preferred over using the dryer, which adds even more
agitation to your delicate circuit. If you notice any mineral build-
up or know that you have atypically hard water, you may want to
use distilled water for the final rinse before drying.
To wash by hand, fill your sink with lukewarm water and a little
bit of detergent (Woolite or hand-wash-specific detergent is
nice, but not absolutely necessary), make sure your batteries
are removed, and suds up your project. Keep sensitive compo-
nents like microphones out of the water, but circuit boards like
FLORA, NeoPixels, conductive thread, etc. can be safely dunked
( Figure 1-16 ).
