Winter Hats vs. Caps: Cleaning and Care Guidelines

For winter hats worn occasionally, washing them once every two months or about three times per season is perfectly adequate. Most can handle machine washing, but always check the care label for specific instructions.

Caps require a gentler touch. Hand wash them twice a year in cold water to prevent stubborn stains and help them retain their shape and color.
