This machine is especially useful in our hot and humid weather. Sweat and grime can stain the songkok, kopiah, and helmet over time, and this machine gives the public an accessible way to keep their favourite headwear fresh and hygienic.

Based on the comments, many welcome the cleaning service and are eager to try it out. A Threads user asked if the machine is available in another mosque as well.
