Cleaning
• Hand Wash Only: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid high-speed washing machines, which crush and ruin the crown.
• Spot Clean Stains: Use a soft-bristle brush (like a toothbrush) to gently scrub dirty areas or the inner sweatband.
• Tackle Sweat Stains: Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste, apply it to the inner band, let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse gently.
• Skip Bleach: Never use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as they cause discoloration and damage synthetic or natural fibers.

Drying
• Air Dry: Never put a cap in the clothes dryer.
• Maintain Shape: Place the wet cap over an upturned rounded bowl, a cap shaper, or stuff the crown with clean microfiber towels so it keeps its silhouette while drying.
• Avoid Direct Sun: Dry your hat in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated spot to prevent fading.

Storage
• Keep It Supported: Stuff the crown with tissue paper or soft fabric when stored long-term so it does not collapse.
• Avoid Crushing: Store caps on a shelf, peg hook, or dedicated cap rack in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Never stack heavy items on top of them.
