An elastomeric tubular casing encompasses an elongate, flaccid, textile article. The elastomeric tubular casing has a tube interior; a tube exterior; and tube first and second ends. The elastomeric tube in a first post-production orientation is rolled into a doughnut geometry, and adapted to unroll about the elongate, flaccid, textile article to resume a generally cylindrical tubular geometry, and thereby encase a portion of the textile article. According to a method of laundering an elongate, flaccid, textile article, the elongate, flaccid, textile article is encased with an elastomeric sleeve, the elastomeric sleeve having an interior diameter approximately equal to an exterior circumference of the elongate flaccid textile article and the elastomeric sleeve extending longitudinally co-extensively the elongate, flaccid textile article. The encased textile article is then laundered. The elastomeric sleeve is removed from the laundered textile article to yield a laundered, elongate, flaccid, textile article.

1. In combination, an elastomeric tubular casing and an elongate, flaccid, textile article, said elastomeric tubular casing having: a tube interior surface defining an adhesive surface;a tube exterior surface defining a non-stick surface;a tube first end; anda tube second end distal to said tube first end;said elastomeric tubular casing having a first post-production configuration defining an annular doughnut geometry, and adapted to unroll therefrom about said elongate, flaccid, textile article to resume a second unrolled configuration defining a generally cylindrical tubular geometry, and thereby encase a portion of said elongate, flaccid, textile article, said adhesive surface configured to slide upon said elongate, flaccid, textile article when said elastomeric tubular casing is in said first post-production rolled configuration and is configured to resist sliding upon said elongate, flaccid, textile article when said elastomeric tubular casing is in said second unrolled configuration. 2. The combination elastomeric tubular casing and elongate, flaccid, textile article of claim 1, wherein said elongate, flaccid, textile article further comprises a drawstring. 3. The combination elastomeric tubular casing and elongate, flaccid, textile article of claim 2, wherein said tube exterior surface further comprises: a first gentle taper extending from a portion of said elastomeric tube exterior surface generally central between said tube first and second ends to said tube first end; andhaving a second gentle taper extending from a portion of said elastomeric tube exterior surface generally central between said tube first and second ends to said tube second end. 4. An elastomeric tubular casing, comprising: an elastomeric tube defining a tube interior surface, a tube exterior surface, a tube first end, and a tube second end distal to said tube first end, said tube interior surface defining an adhesive surface and said tube exterior surface defining a non-adhesive surface;said elastomeric tube exterior surface having a first gentle taper extending from a portion of said elastomeric tube exterior surface generally central between said tube first and second ends to said tube first end; andsaid elastomeric tube exterior surface having a second gentle taper extending from a portion of said elastomeric tube exterior surface generally central between said tube first and second ends to said tube second end;said elastomeric tube in a first post-production orientation rolled into a doughnut geometry, and adapted to unroll therefrom to resume a generally cylindrical tubular geometry. 5. The elastomeric tubular casing of claim 4, wherein said first and second ends further comprise bevels. 6. A method of laundering a drawstring, comprising the steps of: rolling an elastomeric sleeve into a first post-production rolled configuration defining an annular doughnut geometry;encasing said drawstring with said elastomeric sleeve subsequent to said rolling step, said elastomeric sleeve having an interior diameter approximately equal to an exterior circumference of said drawstring and said elastomeric sleeve extending longitudinally co-extensively with said drawstring to yield an encased drawstring;laundering said encased drawstring to yield a laundered and encased drawstring; andremoving said elastomeric sleeve from said laundered and encased drawstring to yield a laundered drawstring. 7. The method of laundering a drawstring of claim 6, wherein said step of encasing further comprises releasably encasing said drawstring with an elastomeric sleeve. 8. The method of laundering a drawstring of claim 6, wherein said step of encasing further comprises the steps of: sliding said elastomeric sleeve in said first post-production rolled configuration onto said drawstring; andunrolling said elastomeric sleeve from said first post-production configuration about said drawstring to a second unrolled configuration defining a generally cylindrical tubular geometry. 9. The method of laundering a drawstring of claim 8, further comprising the step of providing an adhesive surface on an interior surface of said elastomeric sleeve prior to said sliding step, said adhesive surface configured to slide upon said drawstring when said elastomeric sleeve is in said first post-production rolled configuration and is configured to resist sliding upon said drawstring when said elastomeric tubular casing is in said second unrolled configuration. 10. The method of laundering a drawstring of claim 9, further comprising the step of providing a non-stick surface on an exterior surface of said elastomeric sleeve prior to said encasing step.
