Rain hat care

Some of the fabrics we use for our Island Rain Hats are water-repellent (the water bounces off) and some are water resistant (the fabric gets wet but the water will not go through). Give the hat a shake before hanging it up. If yours is made of a resistant fabric and you are in a hurry to dry it, you may consider putting it in the dryer. Many of the new water-resistant fabrics respond well to tumble or wrinkle-out settings.

*Never dry clean your Island Rain Hat or use fabric softener or detergent. The chemicals will remove the water-resistant properties. Use a sponge or a brush or a mild soap to remove spots. Because many of our fabrics have a retardant coating, dirt does not easily absorb and simply agitating the hat in water will often be enough to freshen it.

Also, you can buy special soap at outer-wear stores.
