Using these toe ropes is easy. Just place them between your toes during a pedicure to keep them separated. This helps the nail polish dry evenly and prevents smudging. When you're done with the pedicure, simply throw the ropes away since they're disposable. There's no need to clean them. Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality. Since they're made of cotton, they're biodegradable, so you can feel good about being eco - friendly while using them. Avoid getting them wet before use as this may affect their softness and effectiveness.
