Gentle Cleaning Process

For washable materials, add neutral detergent to cold water and soak the hat for 5-10 minutes. Use a soft brush to gently clean stained areas, especially the inner sweatband.

Caution:

Never use hot water as it can cause protein in sweat stains to coagulate or cause fabric shrinkage and fading. Avoid excessive force that may deform the hat.

Rinse & Dry

Thoroughly rinse the hat with cold water to ensure no detergent residue remains. Gently fold the hat into quarters and shake off excess water, or press with dry towels.

Important:

Never use a washing machine to dehydrate; this will severely deform the hat.

Drying & Shaping

Lay the hat flat and insert dry towels or a hat stretcher inside to maintain its shape. Place in a cool, ventilated area to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or using a dryer.

Professional Advice:

Shape adjustments can be made while still damp; once completely dry, a steam iron can be used at low temperature (maintain proper distance) if needed.

Storage & Maintenance

After ensuring the hat is completely dry, store it in a dedicated hat box or on a hat stand. Avoid compression and place moisture absorbers in the storage space.

Extended Lifespan:

After each wear, you can wipe the inner sweatband with a disinfectant wet wipe and then place it in a ventilated area to dry, reducing sweat stain accumulation.
