Snapback Caps - Care Instructions

Care instructions for snapback caps (e.g. Yupoong Classic Snapback)

Snapback caps like the Yupoong Classic Snapback are usually made of robust materials (e.g. 80% acrylic / 20% wool) and should be treated with care to preserve their shape and colors over time.

Recommended cleaning: It's best to clean your cap by hand. Use cold to lukewarm water (max. 30°C) and a mild detergent without bleach . First, remove dust and lint with a soft brush. Then, let the cap soak in the water for about 5–15 minutes and gently brush the sweatband and high-wear areas with a soft toothbrush or cap brush.

Machine washing: Not recommended unless the cap doesn't contain cardboard trim . In this case, only wash on a gentle cycle with a laundry bag or cap washing rack , using cold water and a low spin speed.

After washing: Carefully squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or crumple . Allow to air dry – ideally over a round surface (e.g., a bowl, towel, or ball), away from the sun or on a heater .

Cleaning interval: If worn daily, clean every 1–2 weeks . For occasional use, clean every few months.
