Usually hats are washed at the beginning or end of the season. But not everyone does this. This is a big mistake.

Even if the hat appears clean on the outside, it still accumulates a fair amount of dirt. As a result, the scalp suffers.

Therefore, if a hat is a permanent wardrobe item, then it is still worth sending it to the wash once every 3-4 weeks.

But how to do it correctly?

It is important to focus on the material and type of lining. Usually all care information is written on the label.

For example, knitted hats can be washed at a water temperature of 30 degrees, but it is also worth remembering that they cannot be soaked for a long time, otherwise the material may become deformed.

Knitted wool hats with synthetic threads can be thrown into the drum of the washing machine, but it is important to use a washing cover.

If we are talking about delicate fabrics, then only hand washing is allowed.

First, you need to remove all decorative elements, if possible. As for detergents, you should not use regular loose powders.

It is advisable to use a mild detergent or regular hair shampoo.
