Washing Tips

Some models can be hand washed, but it is critical to consider what you wash a cap with. The best way to wash a cap is by using warm water and a mild textile detergent without bleach. Dry the cap by filling it out with a towel to help maintain the shape and avoid wrinkles. Keep away from direct heat such as radiators or sunlight while drying. PLEASE NOTE: Washing will affect the shine of the fabrics and can cause fuzzing or pilling. Any viscose lining may also shrink during washing. Never machine wash your cap and always be sure to check the care label within the headband.

Rinse & Repeat

Always look after your cap following excessive use and sweating. If your cap comes in contact with sweat, chlorinated pool water or other chemicals, it may experience discoloration, in which case it is important that you remove these liquids as soon as possible. To prevent permanent and more visible stains, you should wash your cap after any activity where you sweat. Sweat stains can become permanent if you do not regularly wash your cap. Regular washing ensures that sweat has less time to soak into the fabric and leave these permanent marks.

 

FAQ's

How often should I wash my cap?

In order to keep your cap in the best shape possible, we recommend washing your cap regularly and after any activity where it may have encountered sweat or harsh water such as salt water or chlorinated pool water. If you have oil-prone hair or skin or use makeup, these products can also discolor your cap. In this case, we recommend cleaning your cap often to avoid these stains becoming more visible.

How do i maintain the shape of my cap?

To maintain your cap’s perfect shape, it is important to consider the type of shape. We make caps in two styles – structured front and soft front. For structured front caps, you should avoid putting excess weight on the cap or placing it in tightly-packed luggage. If you are looking for a safe way to pack your caps, we recommend using our special-made Travel Case. On the other-hand, soft front caps are more forgiving. If you experience wrinkles related to folding, these are usually easy to remove using a steamer.

How do you keep a white cap clean?

While white is a beautiful color that is perfect for hot summer days, it can be difficult to keep clean. We recommend being extra careful to avoid surfaces or elements that may leave permanent marks such as dirt and sweat. To best maintain your white cap, we recommend washing it more regularly to reduce the appearance of any stains caused by frequent use, as it can be difficult to make a dirty white cap white again.

How do I stop a cap from fading?

Dark colored caps have the potential to fade over long periods of time in the sun or when they come in contact with harsh water such as salt water or chlorinated pool water. Once a cap loses its color, it is not possible to restore the original color. Dark shades of fabrics like linen and cotton are more prone to fading, whereas wool and synthetic materials are better known to keep their color over time.

Can you machine wash a cap?

We strongly recommend not washing your cap in the washing machine and to only wash with water if the material is suitable for washing. Please check the material of your cap and follow our guidance above to ensure the longevity of your cap.
