How to Wash Heated Gloves (Without Ruining Them)
If you’ve ever wondered how to wash heated gloves safely, you’re not alone! Many people worry about damaging the heating elements or batteries when it’s time to clean their Toasties. The good news? Washing Toasty Touch® heated gloves is simple and totally easy when you follow these steps.
Whether you’ve been out photographing in the cold, walking the dog, or just staying cozy typing at your desk, here’s exactly how to wash our heated gloves without losing their effectiveness or warmth.
Step 1: Remove the Batteries
Always start by unplugging and removing both 7V batteries. Set them aside in a dry place, never wash the gloves with batteries connected. Moisture and electronics are not friends!
Step 2: Machine Wash on Cold, Gentle Cycle
Pop your gloves into the washing machine using a cold, gentle cycle. For best results, place them inside a mesh laundry bag to minimize friction and protect the heating wires.
You can skip bleach, fabric softener, and harsh detergents, these can interfere with your Toasties' heating components and materials.
Step 3: Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry
Once the wash cycle is done, you can tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Both methods work great, just make sure the gloves are completely dry before reconnecting the batteries.
If you’re in a hurry, use the low tumble setting. It dries faster while staying gentle on the wires.
Step 4: Store Smart
When your gloves are clean and dry, store them in a cool, dry place, disconnected from the batteries. Avoid folding or tightly compressing them, as that can stress the internal heating elements and battery connectors.
