In-Depth Information
Rinse the garment thoroughly and hang it up or lay flat to dry. If
your garment holds onto a lot of water, roll it up in a towel and
squeeze out any excess water before reshaping and laying it flat
to dry.
The faster your garment dries, the lower your risk of any oxida-
tion on circuit contact pads. Since our wearable printed circuit
boards (PCBs) have gold-plated pads and our conductive thread
is stainless steel, oxidation risk is minimal.
Silver conductive thread oxides over time, and wash-
ing speeds up this process!
Dry cleaning is not a more delicate process than hand-washing!
It still agitates the garment and can use some pretty harsh
chemicals. Only use this option if you have no other choice.
If your garment is free of components that will fill with water
(microphones, hollow-cased switches, etc.) and can usually go
in the washer when it's not adorned with electronics, it still prob-
ably can! Agitation will increase the natural wear on any gar-
ment and circuit, so be sure to inspect the wearable for frayed
threads, loosened stitches, or damaged components.
