How to Keep Your RUFFNEK® Snood Looking Great for Years: The Easy Care Guide

A RUFFNEK® snood is designed to be your go-to companion for every adventure, from skiing and cycling to dog walks, hiking, running or simply staying cosy on the school run. Made from high-quality recycled technical microfibre, it’s soft, breathable, lightweight and built to last. The good news? It’s also incredibly easy to care for.

Here’s a simple guide to keep your snood fresh, vibrant and adventure-ready for years to come.

Quick & Easy Washing

One of the biggest advantages of a RUFFNEK® snood is how low-maintenance it is.

Machine wash at 30°C

This gentle temperature keeps colours bright and maintains the fabric’s performance.

Use a mild detergent

No need for fabric softeners or harsh chemicals, microfibre washes beautifully with ordinary detergent.

Wash with similar colours

Especially useful if you’ve chosen a bold or patterned design.

Air dry naturally

Microfibre dries quickly on its own, so there's no tumble drying required. Saving home energy at the same time!

Optional: Pop your snood into a mesh laundry bag if you’re washing it alongside rough or Velcro items, just to minimise friction.

Soft, Long-Lasting Performance

RUFFNEK® snoods are designed to hold their shape, stretch and softness wash after wash. The seamless technical microfibre construction means they naturally bounce back and stay comfortable whether you’re layering up for winter or keeping the sun off in summer.

Here are a few quick tips:

• Avoid wringing, simply squeeze gently and lay or hang to dry.

• Avoid high heat, no radiators or tumble dryers needed.

• Avoid ironing, especially if your snood has a reflective design. If ironing is absolutely necessary, turn the snood inside out to protect the reflective film from heat.

• Store anywhere, in a drawer, gym bag or pocket, they’re very forgiving.

Durability Built for the Outdoors

Our customers use their snoods for everything, from skiing holidays and cycling commutes to dog walking, sailing, trail running and football training. The technical microfibre is designed to cope with regular wear and frequent washing without losing performance.
