How to clean a bucket hat

Soak + neutral detergent + dry in the shade
Basic steps for cleaning a bucket hat ‌
‌Soak‌: Soak the bucket hat in hot water for about 20 minutes to soften stains.
‌Wash‌: Add neutral, additive-free detergent to another basin of hot water, stir well, and gently scrub the hat with a professional brush.
‌Rinse‌: Rinse the hat thoroughly with running cold water to ensure that detergent residue is removed.
‌Shaping and drying‌: Stuff a clean cloth or blown-up balloon into the hat to keep the shape, then place it in a cool place to dry naturally. If you need to speed up the drying process, use the cold air mode of the hair dryer to avoid shrinkage caused by hot air.
Notes on cleaning different materials
‌Cotton material‌: You can wash it according to the basic steps above, and pay attention to using neutral detergent to avoid damaging the fiber.
‌Leather or wool material‌: It is recommended to send it to a professional dry cleaner for cleaning to avoid damage caused by self-cleaning.
‌Special materials (such as Dior bucket hats): Do not wash or dry clean, and need to be gently scrubbed by hand by a professional cleaner.
Maintenance and storage after cleaning
‌Shaping‌: After washing, stuff the hat with newspapers while it is wet to maintain its original shape, and remove the newspapers after drying.
‌Storage‌: Brush the hat to remove dust and dirt, dry it in the sun, wrap it with paper, put it in a hat box, and place it in a ventilated and dry place. Desiccant can be placed in the storage box to prevent moisture.
‌Daily maintenance‌: After taking off the hat, it should be hung on the coat rack to avoid deformation caused by heavy objects. Brush off dust regularly and clean grease and dirt in time.
With the above methods, you can effectively clean and maintain the bucket hat, extend its service life and keep it beautiful.
