Quick answer
Wear the apron with the neck strap adjusted so the bib sits flat against your chest, then wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and hang it to dry. Treat it like any quality canvas apron: avoid bleach and high heat, and store it flat or hanging to keep its shape.
Why fit and fabric care matter for a branded cooking apron
A well-fitting apron keeps spills off your clothes and stays comfortable during long cooking sessions. The Mike's Hot Honey Hedley & Bennett Apron is a collaboration between two brands known for bold flavor and durable kitchen gear, so it is built to be used, not just displayed.
Canvas and similar sturdy fabrics can shrink or stiffen if washed with hot water or dried on high heat. Gentle care preserves the apron's shape and the printed logo, so it looks good whether you are cooking at home or working in a professional kitchen.
When to wash and when to spot-clean
Not every splash requires a full wash. For small stains, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Reserve full washing for when the apron is visibly soiled or smells of food odors. Overwashing can fade colors and wear down fabric faster than necessary.
How to wear, wash, and store your apron
- Adjust the neck strap for a comfortable fit: Put the apron on and adjust the neck strap so the bib sits flat against your chest without pulling. The waist ties should be snug but not tight. Common mistake: wearing the apron too low, which causes the bib to gap and lets spills through. Checkpoint: you should be able to bend and reach comfortably without the apron shifting.
- Spot-clean small stains promptly: For fresh stains, dab with a damp cloth and a little mild dish soap. Work from the outside of the stain inward to avoid spreading. Common mistake: rubbing hard, which can push the stain deeper into the fabric.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water: Turn the apron inside out and wash with like colors on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Common mistake: using hot water, which can shrink or fade the fabric. Checkpoint: fasten any ties or straps before washing to prevent tangling.
- Air dry flat or hang to dry: Lay the apron flat on a drying rack or hang it by the neck loop. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat. Common mistake: tumble drying on high, which can cause shrinkage and set wrinkles.
- Store hanging or folded flat: Hang the apron by its neck loop or fold it neatly in a drawer. Avoid stuffing it into a crowded space where it can crease permanently. Common mistake: storing while damp, which can cause mildew. Checkpoint: make sure the apron is completely dry before storing.
