How to Wash Your Icekap Cool Cap


Caring for Your IceKap Cool Cap

Proper care keeps your IceKap effective and lasting longer. Here’s how to wash and store it safely:


Before You Wash

  1. Remove all gel packs (there are 5 in total).

  2. Close the Velcro straps so they don’t snag in the wash.

  3. Double-check the cap’s pockets and loops to be sure no gel packs are left inside.


Washing the Cap

  • Machine cycle: Use DELICATE / GENTLE cycle

  • Water temperature: COLD only

  • Extra rinse: Turn it on if your machine has this option

  • Detergent: Use a mild or gentle laundry soap

    • 1 cap → use ¼ of your usual detergent amount

    • 2 caps → use ½ of your usual amount

    • 3 caps → use ¾ of your usual amount


Drying the Cap

  • Never put the cap in the dryer or use an iron.

  • Lay it flat to dry on:

    • A drying rack, or

    • A clean towel on a countertop

  • Make sure there’s good air circulation so it dries faster.


Important Reminders

  • Never wash the gel packs in the machine — just wipe them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.

  • Never put your Cool Cap in the dryer.

  • Always use cold water.

  • Avoid direct sunlight while drying.


After Washing

  1. Make sure the cap is completely dry.

  2. Re-insert the gel packs.

  3. Store your IceKap in a freezer bag inside the freezer so it’s always ready to use and protected from freezer odors.
