Baseball Caps
Kai from Wisconson asks, How to I clean my Baseball Cap??

For my caps, I almost always wash in the washer with my clothes but I never dry them in the dryer, only air dry, this work very well. Pre-treat the liner or headband with a enzyme based laundry pre-spray before washing. I have also seen a cap frame which you can purchase for the dishwasher which holds the hat in place for washing in the dishwasher again removing after the wash cycle and air dry. To be safe be sure you was your cap with similar color, i.e. don't wash a red cap with your white, you likely will be emailing a question on making your pink laundry white again.

it would probably be a good idea to do it in the washer if you had a top loading washer. it would probably mangle it if it was a front loading washer.

there's this stuff called pink solution, its crazy. And you don't really have to get it wet just rub it on it takes almost anything off, but I'm assuming that your hat is drenched in dirty sweat, so just buy that dishwasher thing or take it to the cleaners, they'll do it right.

If the hat is wool, I'd suggest sending it to the dry cleaner.

don't buy anything white unless you can afford to replace it in 1-2 months.

can i get some instructions on how to put it in the dishwasher.. liek does it have to be the top rack, special detergent..what settings and such...? i like white though ... white is a right ?....white just goes good with everything. But yes if someone knows of instructions on how to wash in dishwasher that would be great because i tried it before in tehre and it fucked up the hat and broke the rim..

well you have to buy that little device that holds your hat firmly in place so it doesn't get wobbly and flimsy, as for that i don't know where you would buy it, mayeb you should go to the place you bought the hat and ask them. it's not fucking rocket science

Throw your hat into the wash with some light clothes. Don't use bleach, and I recommend warm to cold water.

After the rinse & spin, take a towel (preferrably a color that is similar to your hat) and roll it up in a ball shape. Fit your hat onto it, adjust the rim, etc. Let it air dry.

The end.

I find if you wash you hat in the washing machine it tends to get wrinkled up on the top of it, almost like it is folding in on it's self, I put my white hat in oxy clean and hot water, let it sit for 6-8 hours and then come back, give it a good scrub and then rinse and dry, my hat blinds people everytime I wash it.
