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.
