Beanie waschen: Die Waschmaschine kann helfen.
At least, this is the case with many types of caps and specimens. If the Beanie is machine washable, there are usually washing instructions on the label. Since most Beanies, which are bought and manufactured today are made of polyester, wool or cotton blends, they can also simply be washed in the washing machine. This not only saves time, but also nerves. Nevertheless, washing in the washing machine involves a certain risk.
Problem when washing in the washing machine: stretching of Beanie
Unfortunately, Beanies stretch very quickly. And the price usually doesn't matter. Whether cheap or expensive, worn out Beanies are annoying.
Knitted hats in particular, of course, cannot be washed in a washing machine, so these soft friends have no choice but to regain cleanliness by hand washing.
If you still decide to use the washing machine out of convenience or basic trust, the recommendation is to throw the beanie in a laundry net and wash it at the lowest possible temperature with a gentle cycle. Although for many it will seem superfluous, a laundry net will prevent the Beanie from getting caught in the washing machine. When choosing the right temperature for the laundry, it is recommended to keep the temperature as low as possible. At best, below or up to 30 degrees Celsius. Of course, it is also important to ensure that the color of the rest of the laundry in the washing machine is not seriously different from the color of Beanie . Otherwise there is the possibility of annoying discolorations.
Beanie in the dryer? Not a good idea!
Beanies must be air-dried. This is essential so that the Beanie not only retains its color, shape and material, but also remains consistent in terms of elasticity. After all, hardly anything is more annoying than Beanies permanently riding up, appearing too short or no longer fitting well. Save yourself the frustration that comes with this and don't dry your Beanie in the dryer.
