At Mrado, we are dedicated to ensuring that your hats stay in great shape, offering long-lasting wear and timeless style. Proper care is essential to maintaining the appearance and integrity of your hats, so please follow these care guidelines to ensure your Mrado hat remains in excellent condition for years to come.
General Care Tips
Read the Care Label
- Always check the care label on your hat for any specific instructions based on the material. Each hat may require unique care, so follow these guidelines for best results.
Avoid Frequent Washing
- Hats don’t need to be cleaned after every use. Spot clean when possible to maintain the integrity of the fabric and avoid unnecessary washing.
Store Properly
- Store your hat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use a hat stand or box to help it retain its shape and avoid crushing or bending the brim.
Reshape After Wearing
After each wear, gently reshape your hat to restore its original form. This will prevent any creases or misshaping over time.
Washing Instructions
Machine Washable Hats (Polyester, Cotton, Blends)
-
Gentle Cycle: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to avoid damage.
-
Turn Inside Out: Turn your hat inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric.
-
Wash with Similar Colors: To avoid color bleeding, wash your hat separately or with similar-colored items.
-
Use Mild Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that won't be harsh on the fabric. Avoid bleach or any strong chemicals.
Hand Wash Only Hats (Wool, Felt, Leather, Specialty Materials)
-
Cold Water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent.
-
Gently Agitate: Gently swish the hat through the water. Avoid scrubbing or wringing the fabric to maintain its shape.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove any detergent residue.
Drying Instructions
-
Air Dry: After washing, gently pat your hat with a towel to remove excess water. Lay it flat or place it on a hat stand to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading or damaging the fabric.
-
Avoid Tumble Drying: Do not place your hat in a dryer, as the heat may shrink or distort the material. Always air dry for the best results.
- Ironing & Steaming
-
Ironing: If necessary, use a low heat setting and iron your hat on the reverse side. If your hat is made of delicate fabric, place a thin cloth between the iron and the hat to protect it from direct heat.
-
Steaming: Steaming is a great alternative to ironing, especially for delicate or structured hats. It helps to remove wrinkles without damaging the fabric.
Special Care for Leather & Felt Hats
Leather Hats:
-
Spot Clean: Wipe down leather hats with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Never soak the leather.
-
Use Leather Conditioner: Apply a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain its softness and prevent cracking.
-
Avoid Heat & Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat can dry out the leather, causing it to crack and fade.
Felt Hats:
-
Spot Clean: Gently blot any stains with a damp cloth. Never submerge felt hats in water.
-
Avoid Crushing: To prevent crushing the shape, store felt hats on a hat stand or inside a hat box.
Stain Removal Tips
-
Act Quickly: The faster you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove.
-
Blot, Don’t Rub: Always blot stains gently with a clean cloth or sponge. Rubbing may spread the stain and damage the fabric.
-
Test Stain Removers: Before applying any stain remover, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the hat to ensure it doesn’t discolor or damage the material.
Storage Instructions
-
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your hat for a season, ensure it is clean and completely dry. Store it in a breathable garment bag or a hat box to keep it safe from dust, moisture, and damage.
-
Avoid Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd your wardrobe. Allow your hat space to breathe to prevent it from losing its shape.
-
Reshape After Storage: Once you take your hat out of storage, reshape it by hand or use a hat stand to restore its original form.
