Hat Cleaning ​Cleaning Steps

  • 1. Shake bottle before use.

  • 2. Colour fastness test
    Apply the stain remover to the microfibre cloth and press on a hidden area of the hat (the inside of the sweatband area usually has excess fabric perfect for you to test) for 20 seconds. If you see any colour transfer onto the cloth do not use.Note: The Captician Stain Remover is not suitable for suede or leather.

  • 3. Brush.
    Remove any stickers from the cap. Use The Captician brush to remove any dry dirt or dust, avoiding the stain.

  • 4. Mist.
    To prevent water marks use The Captician misting bottle filled with water to lightly dampen the stain area. See below for how to use the misting bottle.

  • 5. Apply.
    Spray The Captician stain remover directly onto the stain.

  • 6. Blot & Wipe.
    Wet The Captician cloth with warm water. Blot and wipe from the stain edge to the centre. Do not scrub as it may cause the fabric to look fuzzy.
  • 7. Dry.
    Use a mannequin head or a rolled-up towel to keep your caps shape. To speed up the drying process use a hair dryer on a cool setting.
  • 8. Check.
    Allow your hat to fully dry to see the results. Stubborn stains might require more than one application.

How to Use The Captician Misting Bottle

Use The Captician Misting spray bottle to avoid water marks while spot cleaning your hat. Understand why water marks happen and learn how The Captician Fine Misting Bottle can prevent them. Follow the guide below to easily use it.

Why Water Marks Appear:

During spot cleaning, only a part of the fabric is wetted, leading to uneven drying. This can result in a ring or mark as the water evaporates.This happens because water moves to drier areas of the fabric, carrying and moving tiny molecules of impurities left from the stain to the edges of the wet area.

How to Use of the Misting Bottle to Prevent Water Marks.

1. Fill the misting bottle with fresh water, preferably distilled. Filtered, bottled, or tap water are also suitable options.

Lightly mist the area around the stain. This pre-treatment promotes even distribution of moisture, reducing the risk of water marks

2. Here's where to spray the misting bottle, based on where the stain is on the cap

 - Crown: Apply a light mist over the entire crown.

 - Sweatband: Typically, avoid misting directly. If moisture inadvertently spreads, mist the affected panel or the whole cap to ensure evenness.

 - Brim: Mist both sides of the brim lightly.

3. Post-Cleaning Care: After treating the stain, lightly mist the cleaned area and its surroundings again. This helps to blend the treated spot with the rest of the fabric, minimizing the risk of water marks.

4. Even Drying: Allow the hat to air dry in an area with good airflow, this helps uniform drying and further preventing water marks.
