Step-by-Step Hand Washing Process
Step 1: Fill a sink or large bowl with lukewarm water.

Step 2: Add a small amount, roughly a teaspoon, of your chosen detergent, ensuring even distribution in the water.

Step 3: Submerge your bucket hat in soapy water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. This time-frame allows dirt particles to break down.

Step 4: Tenderly scrub different areas, using a soft washcloth to address stubborn stains. Pay special attention to the sweatband and brim areas, which are known for sweat accumulation.

Step 5: Drain the soapy water and refill the sink or bowl with clean water after thorough cleaning. Rinely it multiple times until no soap suds remain.

Step 6: Extricate excess water by pressing the hat between clean towels, avoiding twisting or wringing the material.

Step 7: Re-shape the hat as necessary and let it air dry. Avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources prevents shrinking or shape distortion.
This hand-washing process helps maintain the quality and shape of the bucket hat, promoting extended use.

Maintaining the Shape of Your Bucket Hat
- Avoid Crushing: A common mistake is stuffing hats in crowded drawers or bags. For bucket hats, this can distort the natural rounded shape. Your hat appreciates space and gentleness, so avoid squishing it when not in use.

- Reserve for Wearing: Do not use it as a carrying accessory for other items. Consistent usage, for instance, as a makeshift bag, crinkles it, reducing its rigidity and resulting in a misshapen appearance.

- Refrain from Heat: Heat can alter the shape of bucket hats, particularly those made of cotton and wool. So, maintain distance from sources such as heaters and sun rays, which could stretch or shrink the bucket hat further after washing and drying.

- Use a Hat Stand/ Rack: Store your bucket hat on a hat stand or rack. This allows it to maintain shape, prevents creasing, and facilitates adequate air circulation.

- Flat Surface: If a stand isn’t an option, place it on a flat surface with the crown downward. This stops the brim from flattening.

- Hat Box for Travel: A sturdy hat box can ensure your bucket hat’s shape remains intact. It prevents crushing amidst other baggage.

- Clear Storage Area: Keep your hat away from humid, dusty areas. The cleaner the storage, the less frequently you’ll need to wash the hat.
