Thank you for choosing BOUJEE DREAMS! To ensure the longevity of your bonnet that may include junk charms, appliqués, pictures and/or lighting system, please follow the care instructions carefully below:


HOW TO HANDLE ANY BONNET WITH A LIGHTING SYSTEM: 

1. Battery Care:

  • Remove the batteries before washing: To prevent damage to the battery pack or the bonnet's electrical components, always remove the batteries before cleaning or storing your bonnet.
  • Place Battery pack in a zip loc bag, to prevent any water from getting into the battery pack, if water gets into the battery pack, the lights will NO LONGER work.
  • Use the correct battery type: Ensure you are using the recommended battery type as indicated for the product. Majority will be AA, but please pay attention to each bonnet as the battery type may differ. This will help maintain the functionality and safety of the light system.

2. Light Functionality:

  • Turn off the lights when not in use: To preserve battery life, make sure to turn off the lights when the bonnet is not being worn. Most bonnets come with a simple switch or button to control the lights.
  • Avoid exposing the lights to moisture: Although the lights are designed for durability, avoid excessive moisture or exposure to water. Remove the battery pack before washing to protect the lights.

3. Cleaning the Bonnet:

  • Spot clean only: Due to the battery-operated light system, do not submerge the bonnet in water. Instead, gently spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth to remove dirt or stains.
  • Use mild detergent: For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent that is safe for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or wiring.
  • Do not wring or twist: Be gentle when cleaning or drying the bonnet. Do not wring or twist the bonnet, as this may affect the shape and damage the lights or fabric.
  • Drying: After cleaning, lay the bonnet flat on a clean, dry surface to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat sources, as they can damage the fabric or light system.

4. Storing Your Bonnet:

  • Remove the battery pack: Before storing the bonnet, always remove the battery pack to prevent damage to the lights and to conserve battery life.
  • Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the bonnet in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it in areas with high humidity, as moisture can damage both the fabric and the battery-operated light system.
  • Keep away from sharp objects: Be mindful to store your bonnet away from any sharp objects that could potentially damage the fabric or wiring.

5. Safety Precautions:

  • Do not overload the light system: Always follow the instructions regarding the maximum battery capacity to avoid overloading the electrical components.
  • Inspect the lights regularly: Before each use, check the light system for any loose wires, damage, or wear. If any issues are found, discontinue use and contact customer support for repairs or replacement.
  • Battery replacement: If the lights dim or stop working, replace the batteries with new, fresh ones. Follow the recommended battery type and size from the product.
