subject: The Maintenance Of Woolen Caps [print this page] A lot of people are linking caps to all kind of sports. A sports fan will select one specifically for the team he favors. By watching closely in the sport arena you will easily find various caps are worn by the fans of different teams.
Modern people are chasing their fashions, not only in clothing but also matching apparel. Hats and caps now play an important role in the trend.
Regardless at hot summer or chilly winter, everyone wants to have a hat for self-protection. An appropriate hat with matched apparel will give you a unique look and an added brilliance before public.
When not being worn, hats should not lie around without attention, but be hung on the coat rack, or on hat hooks, without heavy objects resting on them to deform their shape. After wearing for some time, it is inevitable for hats to get dirty inside and out, with grease, dirt and soil, as well as sweat, and odor, which can be rid off by hand washing.
The removable rims can be removed for washing, and put back after drying, to avoid mildews growing from the moist caused by sweating, to make the hat less durable in its original shape. Brush off the dust gathered on the hat now and then. Remove any soil and dirt gathered on it, by dipping the brush in hot soapy water and apply it gently on the dirty spots, and rinse it with clear water thoroughly. When washing the hat, it is advisable to put the hat on a round can, a porcelain basin or a bowl about the same size, to help keep its shape. Before storage, make sure all dust has been brushed off, and soil
Washed away, and dried in the sun. Wrap it with paper before putting it in a hat box with drying agent (desiccant/silicon) to keep the humidity low, to be stored in a dry place with good ventilation. Some hat canopy (the protruding part of a cap) should not be washed for the material used, such as feathers, sequins, or paper, but cotton one is washable. You will ruin the hat totally by washing the one made of paper as that is not reversible once the damage is caused. Cone shape or tall hat should never be washed in a washing machine.
Each individual has his/her own taste. You may experience 'shopping around' until your ideals come into sight.
Due to the multiple functions of the hats/caps, they are in increasing demands in our daily life. Selection of an ideal hat/cap has become the target for our younger generation.
