If caps are your favorite accessory because you wear them almost every day, and you want them to last longer, then it is definitely important that you give them the cleaning they deserve!
The first thing you should know is that it is completely normal for your cap to get stained or even turn a little yellow. All of this is due to the constant use you can give it, between sweat, visits to the beach, the park, drink stains or even accidental food stains.
But don't worry! There is a solution for all this and we'll give it to you.
It is best to wash your cap by hand, always following the manufacturer's recommendations on the label attached to the cap. You may also be able to wash it in the washing machine, but it is therefore important to always check the manufacturer's label first before deciding on that option.
This is the best choice if you don't have much time for cleaning. Otherwise, you can opt for hand washing. It is usually also preferred to avoid any kind of deformation in the cap, however, as we mentioned, some caps, such as sports caps, come ready to be washed in the washing machine.
In this guide, we tell you the steps you must follow to wash a cap very carefully so that it does not become deformed.
To start you will need:
- Water container
- Mild detergent or liquid soap
- Toothbrush or other soft brush
- Warm water, not hot
Once you have everything you need, we follow these 6 points:
- Put warm water in a container and add the mild detergent or liquid soap. Add enough water to cover the cap.
- Let the cap soak for about 20 minutes.
- Use a regular brush or a soft toothbrush and go over the dirtiest areas. Do it gently so as not to damage the cap.
- Rinse the cap well to remove any soap residue.
- Let the cap air dry. Be very careful how you place the cap so that it does not deform during drying.
This technique will help you keep your favorite caps in good condition for longer.
Below we leave you the following steps with illustrations so that you can clean your cap.
