Yes, you can wash a durag with either shampoo or dish soap. Both can be effective in cleaning the durag, removing dirt, oils, and residue.
If you choose to use shampoo, make sure to use a mild, gentle shampoo that is suitable for cleaning fabrics. Avoid shampoos that contain harsh chemicals or dyes that could potentially damage the fabric. Dilute the shampoo in water according to the instructions and gently agitate the durag in the soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
Dish soap can also be used to clean a durag. Similar to using shampoo, dilute a small amount of dish soap in water and mix well. Submerge the durag in the soapy water and gently rub and squeeze it to remove dirt and oils. Rinse the durag thoroughly to ensure all soap is removed.
After washing with either shampoo or dish soap, it's important to rinse the durag well to eliminate any remaining soap or residue. Allow the durag to air dry or follow the care instructions if provided by the manufacturer.
Remember to always check the care label or any specific instructions provided with your durag, as some materials or finishes may have special cleaning requirements.
