I received this item, which had been used a few times and had no noticeable stains. I brought it with me to use at the park, but the weather was bad, and I only took photos with it. After returning home, I washed it with delicate detergent. There was a stain on the outer tag, but I removed it with detergent. I washed it with delicate detergent, but it originally had a slight scent of fabric softener. Folded in half and shipped anonymously. Boa Bucket Hat Disney Resort Mickey
