Keep your Banwood Washed Cap looking fresh with simple hand-washing steps and proper drying. Learn how to maintain the mint cap's soft shape.

Quick answer

Hand-wash your Banwood Washed Cap in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dry it flat to preserve its shape and soft organic cotton feel.

Why hand-washing is best for organic cotton caps

The Banwood Washed Cap is made from 100% organic washed cotton, which means it's designed to get softer with every wash. Machine washing can be too aggressive for this fabric, causing the cap to lose its low-profile crown shape and curved brim. Hand-washing keeps the fibers intact and the adjustable buckle strap working smoothly.

What to avoid when drying

Never put the cap in a dryer or wring it out. The heat can shrink the organic cotton and distort the brim. Instead, gently press out excess water with a towel and let it air-dry on a flat surface away from direct sunlight. This preserves both the fit and the color of the mint cap.

How to wash your Banwood Washed Cap

Fill a basin with cold water and mild detergent: Use cool water and a small amount of gentle laundry detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the organic cotton fibers. Hot water can shrink the cap; always stick to cold.
Submerge and gently swish the cap: Press the cap into the water and swish it around for 2-3 minutes. Focus on any soiled areas by rubbing the fabric gently against itself. Do not scrub aggressively. Avoid twisting or wringing the cap, which can deform the crown and brim.
Rinse thoroughly with cold water: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean cold water. Swish the cap until all detergent is gone. Repeat if needed. Residual soap can stiffen the fabric; rinse until water runs clear.
Press out excess water with a towel: Lay the cap flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel up with the cap inside and gently press to absorb moisture. Unroll and reshape the cap. Do not twist or squeeze the cap directly; the towel method protects the shape.
Air-dry flat away from heat and sunlight: Place the cap on a drying rack or a fresh towel in a well-ventilated area. Reshape the crown and brim while damp. Allow to dry completely before wearing. Direct sunlight can fade the mint color; choose a shaded spot.
