    Wash caps made from cotton and wool fabrics 

    If you own a wool or cotton cap, it will tend to shrink when exposed to water or high-temperature conditions. It is recommended that you hand wash wool/cotton caps and snapbacks in a sink with cold water and wash gently.

    Step 1: Soak the cap in clean water for 5 minutes

    Before washing, we turn a little clean water into the basin and soak the cap so that the water completely covers the hat for about 5 minutes. for the purpose of softening the fabric and dirt stains that are and have been attached for a long time on the hat. Or if you don't want to be fussy, you should also soak for 10 to 20 seconds and then gently rub the top of the fabric (the hard part should not be rubbed by hand, but lightly brushed with a brush).

    Step 2: Change the water and soak the cap with soap for 10 minutes

    Next, pour the old water into the basin, turn about 1 cup of water (about 200 to 400ml only). Put the soap in the pan to dissolve the soap, then put the cap in and gently stir 4-5 times for the hat to fully contact the soapy water. Here you should soak with soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes for the chemical reaction to remove stains enough time to occur.
