How to Wash a Cap – 8 steps
Steps to follow:
1
The first thing you should do before washing your cap is to see if it has label with washing instructions, this way you will be able to know the best way to keep your cap impeccable and in optimal condition. We recommend you consult our article on What do laundry symbols mean? so that you better understand what is the best washing method.
2
In case you have cut the label and don’t know the proper way to wash your cap we suggest that you do not risk putting it in the washing machine, especially if it is a new cap or one that you really appreciate.
3
If you cap has been stained and what you want is to eliminate those obnoxious stains, you can try removing them with a mixture of water, dishwashing detergent and ammonia. With the help of a toothbrush, you should rub on the stains and let the cap dry in the shade. It is very important that you do not put it in the sun because marks could remain.
4
Likewise, you can also choose to wash the cap by hand to clean it completely. We recommend washing it in cold water, especially if it is a colored cap, to prevent it from fading or shrinking. In this way, you should put water in a basin or basin along with detergent to wash clothes by hand.
5
You will need to let the cap soak for a while and it will probably be necessary to rub the inside front part – where the visor attaches to the cap – or the sides of the cap, to eliminate sweat marks.
6
Rinse the cap with water to remove any remaining detergent until you make sure it does not foam. Pay special attention to the visor and do not try to wring it out or you could deform the cap.
7
At the time of dry the cap It is best to put a small towel or kitchen cloth inside to shape it and prevent deformations. Even if it takes a little longer, we suggest leaving it in the shade so that the sun does not damage it.
8
It should be noted that if it is an old cap, you can choose to put it in directly into the washing machine but there is no guarantee that it will not deform or discolor.
