Is it possible to wash felt like washing bath caps?

Thanks to a felt hat, a sensitive person can visit baths and saunas without harm to their health. This material perfectly protects the head from overheating. Few people know that felt bath hats need to be washed in the same way as towels, bathrobes and other bath accessories. There are a few simple rules for caring for this accessory.

Is felt washable?

Felt is a material made from sheep's wool, it is harsh and dense. In such a hat, your head in the bath will be protected from overheating and heat stroke, even at high temperatures. Other types of bath caps are made from felt, natural cotton and linen.

The method of caring for a hat depends on the material from which it is made. Woolen products are washed according to all the rules recommended for this type of fabric. Hand washing is preferable, machine washing is strictly on the “Wool” cycle.

Hats made of softer felt, another type of wool, also require delicate or special washing modes. Natural woolen fabrics do not tolerate hot water, intensive spinning and long periods of exposure to water, so be careful.

How to wash a bath cap

To prevent wool from shrinking, wash it in water no higher than 40 degrees. High temperatures and aggressive washing lead to the fact that bath accessories become cramped. This is not only inconvenient, but also dangerous: there should be a small air space between the scalp and the hat. Only in this case will the bathhouse be comfortable and safe.

We wash, wring out and dry the felt bath hat correctly:

Select only the “Wool” mode. Other machine functions may cause deformation of the product.
Use delicate soap, shampoo or gentle washing gel. Granular detergents with aggressive components should not be used.
For hand washing, thoroughly stir the detergent into the water.
Remove the spin. A small felt hat can be easily squeezed out by hand. At the same time, you cannot twist it, just press it with your palms and spread it on absorbent material.
Do not soak wool for a long time.
Dry naturally. To keep the hat in shape, put it on your head, then take it off and leave it on a flat horizontal surface. The drying rack and clothespins will leave unsightly creases.

Avid sauna visitors sometimes treat themselves to purchasing a decorative felt hat with appliqués, embroidery and other decorations. The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com advises in this case to trust the bath accessory only by hand washing.

Advice
How often should I wash felt? If you traditionally visit the bathhouse once a week, then after two or three procedures, put the hat in the machine or basin.

Hard felt hats do not need ironing - they retain their shape well. But if the iron has a function for ironing wool, then you can use it to disinfect and restore the pleasant appearance of the product.

Wash felt hats the same way you wash woolen items, and everything will be fine.
