How to Care for your Beanie and Knit Caps

In fact, beanies are a must have for all fashion lovers. If know how to accessorize your looks, then you know without a doubt that beanies are signature pieces that go hand in hand with most cold season attires.

Manufactures and suppliers are striving to create beanies and other head gear pieces that will stand the test of time. This means that the beanie you wear this winter season can be worn over and over in future. The big question remains; How can you care for your beanie and custom winter hat to make them last long?

The Cleaning Process

Do not wash your beanies too much. In fact, for them not to lose their original shape and size, only wash your customized beanie or knit hats whenever they are dirty. Too much washing also shortens their life span.

Spot clean the stains – if your beanie has a small stain, you can try spot cleaning the stained area instead of washing the entire piece.

Hand wash the pieces – hand washing is the safest way to clean beanies. It is hard to matt the fibers if the beanies are hand washed.

Use gentle washing detergents – using harsh detergents on your beanies might damage them. In addition to this, harsh washing detergents may make the beanies lose their original color making them look old and rugged.

Rinse well until final rinse water appears clean – detergents are known to leave ugly stains on clothes. So, to be certain that you have rinsed off all the detergent, ensure that your final rinse water appears clean.

The Drying Process

Since you do not wish to lose the size and shape of your beanies, do not hang them on a line. Dry the beanie (or beanies) flat and away from direct sunlight as this would fade the colors.

If the beanie's shape has been altered in the washing process, gently pull it to its original shape while it is still wet.

Do not iron the beanies.

If your beanie and knit hats are worn out to a point of no repair, you can always replace them with new ones. This is because apart from warming yourself during winter you would also want to look stylish in them, right?

Truth be told, with hundreds of versions, styles and designs to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect pieces just for you. However, always make it your habit to invest in top quality pieces so that you get more than just warmth. Style, fashion and trend are factors that you need not to ignore.
