Have you ever wondered how to clean your hat or baseball cap at home? You’re not alone. You may have heard of many cleaning methods, such as utilizing the dishwasher or the washing machine, but not all are entirely safe for your hat. Our guide below outlines our expert recommendations for cleaning your hat safely and effectively.
Hat Cleaning Process:
- Fill the sink with cool water and add a drop or two of mild detergent.
- Immerse the cap into the solution in the sink.
- If there are heavily soiled areas of the cap, you can scrub the areas using a toothbrush or a soft brush.
- Remove the hat after 5-10 minutes and rinse out the cleaning solution. Pat dry with a clean towel. Reshape the cap and let air dry.
Further Tips:
- Add color-safe bleach to your cleaning solution for old protein stains such as sweat
- Scrub in a solution of dish detergent if you’re dealing with a build-up of oil from skin and hair
- If the hat has two distinct fabric colors, test for colorfastness. Apply the cleaning solution to an inconspicuous part of the hat and then rub a white cloth firmly against this area. If the color rubs off, it suggests the color will likely run.
