How to Care for Kids' Birthday Tiaras and Headbands

Quick answer

Clean kids' tiaras and headbands by hand with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, avoid soaking, and store them flat or hanging to prevent bending and glitter loss.

Step-by-step care routine

1. 1. Spot clean with a soft damp cloth: Dampen a microfiber cloth with cool water and a drop of mild dish soap. Gently wipe the tiara or headband, avoiding glitter areas and attached decorations. Do not submerge in water. Never use bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners—they strip glitter and damage satin.
2. 2. Air dry flat on a towel: Lay the tiara or headband on a clean, dry towel away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape the band gently if needed while damp. Do not wring or twist. Heat can warp plastic headbands and cause elastic to lose stretch.
3. 3. Store in a cool, dry place: Keep tiaras in a drawer or box with soft lining, or hang headbands on a padded hanger. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent bending or crushing glitter details. For tiaras with elastic straps, store them flat to avoid stretching out the elastic over time.
