Is Wonder Web Washable? Care Tips for Long-Lasting Hems

🧵 Is Wonder Web Washable?

The short answer: Yes, Wonder Web is washable — as long as it’s applied correctly and used on suitable fabrics.
Once heat is applied with an iron, the adhesive in Wonder Web bonds fabric layers together, creating a durable hem that can withstand regular washing.

✅ Washing Guidelines for Wonder Web

To make your Wonder Web hems last as long as possible:

• Wait before washing — Allow at least 24 hours after applying before putting your garment in the wash.
• Turn inside out — This reduces friction on the hem.
• Use cool to warm water — Machine wash at 30°C–40°C.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners — These can weaken the adhesive.
• Air dry when possible — High tumble dryer heat may shorten the hem’s lifespan.

🔧 Tips for Long-Lasting Washable Hems

1. Press, don’t glide — Apply Wonder Web with a hot iron (wool or cotton setting) and firm pressure.

3. Cool completely — Let the hem set before moving or folding.
4. Choose the right width — Use 20mm Wonder Web for heavier garments like jeans or uniforms.
