How to Clean Your Corduroy Snapback Hat: Keep It Fresh and Fly

Corduroy snapback hats bring a vintage vibe and premium feel to your wardrobe but like any great accessory, they need a little care to stay looking fresh. Whether you’re rocking our Black & Orange Corduroy Snapback or the White & Orange Corduroy Snapback, here’s how to keep your cap in top shape without damaging the fabric or losing its crisp structure.

1. Gather your supplies

- A soft‑bristle brush (a clean toothbrush works too)
- Mild detergent (preferably unscented and dye‑free)
- A small bowl of lukewarm water
- A clean, white cloth or microfiber towel
- A dry towel to maintain the hat’s shape

2. Brush off loose dirt

Use a soft brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. Always brush in the direction of the corduroy’s nap (the way the fabric naturally lies) to avoid crushing the texture.

3. Spot clean stains

Mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water. Dip your cloth into the mixture and gently blot any stained areas. Avoid soaking the fabric; corduroy can lose its shape if it gets too wet.

4. Hand wash gently

For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with your detergent solution and wipe the entire exterior of the hat. Avoid scrubbing or twisting the brim — gentle circular motions will lift dirt without damaging the fibers.

5. Rinse and dry

Dip a separate cloth in clean water, wring it out, and dab away any soap residue. Once clean, use a dry towel to pat the hat and absorb excess moisture. Reshape the crown and brim, then let the hat air‑dry in a well‑ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

6. Maintain shape and freshness

While drying, stuff the crown with a soft towel to help maintain its shape. Avoid storing your hat in cramped spaces where it can get crushed. For a quick refresh between washes, use a fabric freshener spray designed for delicate materials.
