How do you get rid of perspiration stains in a baseball cap?

Answer 1

Take a toothbrush and scrub the sweaty parts of the hat with some shampoo, then wash the hat. most hats will keep their shape just fine in the washer and dryer.....or air dry. shampoo is made to break down body oils. you can also use this tip for ring-around-the-collar.

You can also stop sweat stains before they happen. I use a product called Hat Saver that you spray on the outside of your new hat and you never get sweat stains to clean. I then just wash the headband on the inside of the hat if it starts to smell or gets real dirty. You can buy it at hatsaver.com.

In addition to sprays and washing, you can also protect your hat with a wicking hat liner, like the CrownWear Head Liner. The keep sweat out of your eyes and filter out the dirt, salt and oils in your sweat to prevent stains and odors and extend the life of your hat.

Answer 2

If the cap is at least hand washable, dish detergent or other soaps designed to attack grease, oils or fats generally work pretty well. Try a dish detergent that has no color and no scent to it if you're worried about not being able to wash it out completely. Lemon juice, vinegar, and other mild acids are good too, but again, try to stick with clearer vinegars (white wine, rice or other white vinegars) if you can't throw the cap in the washing machine and are washing by hand.

Answer 3

Try washing it along with dark clothes in the waher. If not, try using baking soda and scrubbing with a sponge or dish brush. Rinse A LOT. Anyhow, how did yu get soot in your Baseball cap?
