The Best Way to Wash Your Baseball Cap March 02 2018 0 Comments

 

Whether you wear customized hats  in your game or you don it on regular days, it will eventually get grubby. However, before you use soap and water on it, make sure to check the tag inside. It should have washing instructions from the manufacturer. If doesn't, or if the contents of the tag are illegible, follow the given instructions below to make your old customized hat look brand new:

How to Clean Custom Caps

 

Step 1–Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and add the laundry detergent you have. You can also use dish soap if as an alternative this but it might take longer to get those stains out.

Step 2 – Spot clean the custom cap first. In other words, mark out the problem areas or where the stubborn stains are and dab them with the detergent first. After placing the now soapy customized cap in the bucket of water, take a toothbrush and scrub those spots first. This tip also works on sweat stains on the bill.

Step 3 – Rinse the cap in clean water and hang to dry. This can take a day at least.

Useful tips

  • Woolen baseball caps should only be washed in cold water and with a mild detergent. The material is quite delicate and will get twisted otherwise. Once you have washed it, dry it gently with a towel. Then hang it up to air dry.
  • Test vintage hats for color fastness before a wash. These can typically be cleaned with a little detergent and cold water. Test for color fastness on the inside of the band before soaking. If the color bleeds, then clean the hat manually using a cloth to ensure it retains its sheen. However, the best thing to do in this is to leave the cap unwashed. That is way better than ruining a beautiful cap that is just a bit rough around the edges.
