2023-2024 Cheerleading Handbook
Care for Apparel
DO NOT put shoes in the washer or dryer.
SPOT CLEAN ONLY – DO NOT SUBMERGE
Use mild soap and a wet wash cloth to gently buff out the dirty areas on the shoes.
Untie shoe laces before removing shoes.
Your new poms have been fluffed before shipping, but you will need to refresh them after opening as shipping tends to flatten them slightly.
Grab the pom by pom strands and shake hard several times. Repeat this 4 or 5 times grabbing the pom strands and shaking on different sides.
Strands that are not fully extended should be gently pulled outward to achieve an even fullness.
Grab your pom by the handle and shake vigorously for several seconds.
IMPORTANT CARE TIPS FOR YOUR NEW POMS:
Keep poms out of excessive heat!
Keep poms out of direct sunlight!
Never store damp poms in a closed container or bag.
Allow poms to dry completely in the open air.
To preserve the life of your cheer bow, I recommend handling them with care and protecting them from cosmetics, water, hair spray and the weather. Do NOT stretch or pull on your cheer bows. Cheer bow hair ties and clips are not intended to hold the hair. To avoid breakage from overstretching, always secure the hair in a separate hair tie or clip first before adding your cheer bow to your hair. Attach the cheer bow below the original hair tie. The cheer bow hair tie should be at the base of the ponytail with the original hair tie above that. This will ensure that your cheer bow is secure and will not fall out. Store your cheer bow lying flat in a Rubbermaid/Tupperware type container to prevent crushing your bow’s loops or bending the tails.
