Summer is starting, and it's time to break out the caps if they were ever put away in the first place. If your cap’s been out year-round, it might be time for some TLC, but haphazardly throwing your cap in the washing machine could result in a floppy, crinkled, and otherwise sad-looking cap. Below are some tips for cleaning caps to make them look brand new.
· Make sure to read the care tag before cleaning.
· Small stains can be tackled with a stain remover (avoid ones with bleach), some light brushing, and a bit of water.
· Be careful around any logos to avoid damaging them.
· Soak in cool, soapy water for an hour, then rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel.
· Don’t soak your vintage caps; brims used to be made of cardboard and would disintegrate with water (if you flick the brim and it sounds hollow, it's probably carboard).
· Air dry your cap after washing to avoid shrinking or misshaping that could happen in the dryer. Putting it on a container or a mannequin head will help keep its shape.
· Wool hats are notoriously delicate and need extra care.
