Problem: How to clean a wrist brace
Read the manufacturer's instructions.
If there are instructions on how to clean the brace, read them carefully to ensure that you don't damage the fabric or structure. The fabric of your brace needs to remain both strong and flexible in order to support your wrist during daily activities or exercise. OPTIONS:
- You may need to adjust the fabric to more dimensions to sufficiently accommodate your wrist position. A sturdy, solid wood piece is your best bet, as this will protect the fabric from corrosion and damage.
- You can purchase flex cuffs or strap strips from a local health and beauty store, pharmacy, or your local sports center. You may also be able to find flex cuffs at a local, superstore, or department store.
- The manufacturer's instructions should allow you to clean the brace at home. However, depending on the brand of brace you have purchased, you might be able to do it at home.
- You can find these instructions on the brace itself or enclosed within the product packaging. Usually these instructions will include specific information about the proper washing temperature, proper chemical detergents, and safe drying techniques.
