Why Washing Your Cap Is Important (Even Spiritually)
A cap isn't just an accessory. For Ayoun, it embodies an energy shield. And like any shield, it needs proper maintenance to remain effective:
Hygiene: perspiration, pollution, sebum, dust... Even if you can't see it, your cap absorbs all of that.
Energy: According to many beliefs, the objects we wear regularly also capture vibrations. Physical cleansing = symbolic cleansing.
Style: A clean cap gives you a fresh, confident, and controlled look.
Ideally, wash it every 2 to 3 weeks, especially if you wear it every day.
Step 1: Identify the material of your cap
Before you start, make sure you check what your cap is made of. Because no, not all caps wash the same way:
Modern caps (Ayoun, baseball, recent visors)
Solid plastic visor
Cotton or polyester fabric
✅ Compatible with all 3 methods: hand, machine, dishwasher
Vintage caps (before 1983, cardboard visor)
Fragile visor that does not withstand water
❌ NO washing with water!
🧽 Targeted dry cleaning only
Not sure if the visor is made of cardboard? Tap it. If it makes a hollow sound, be careful!
Step 2: Hand wash (the gentlest method)
Benefits :
Preserves colors and shape
Compatible with all fabrics (except leather/very delicate embroidered designs)
It's also the most "zen" ✨
How to do it?
Fill a basin with cold water (for wool, silk) or lukewarm water (for cotton, polyester)
Add a dose of mild, bleach-free detergent (such as liquid Marseille soap)
Soak your cap for 1 to 2 minutes
Clean dirty areas with a soft brush or old toothbrush
Rinse thoroughly with clean water
Gently blot with a towel
Air dry with the cap resting on an upturned bowl or rolled-up towel inside.
Do not do anything:
Never twist your cap
Do not dry in direct sunlight (risk of discoloration)
Do not use hot water (distorts the fibers)
Step 3: Machine wash your cap (possible, but under certain conditions)
Use only if:
Your cap is recent, resistant
The fabric is well sewn, with no visible fragility
Ayoun's tip: Place your cap in a laundry bag or pillowcase to avoid harsh rubbing.
Program to use:
Short cycle
Cold or delicate temperature
Gentle laundry detergent without bleach
No spin
➡️ At the end of the cycle: same drying protocol as by hand.
Step 4: Wash your cap in the dishwasher 🍽
Yes, it's possible. And sometimes even gentler than a washing machine!
Method :
Put your cap in the top basket, without any dishes around it.
Use a bleach-free tablet or mild dishwasher liquid
Program a short cold cycle (without automatic drying)
Once the cycle is finished, take it out while still damp and let it air dry, with a round shape inside.
Bonus tip: Use a cap holder (or bowl/ball) to keep the visor in perfect shape.
