How do you wash a baseball cap?

Answer 1

Place the cap in the top rack of a dishwasher. Turn off the dry cycle.

Put the Baseball cap in the washing machine (NO BLEACH!) use Tide, or another detergent that doesn't have bleach and do not wash it with any other clothing. WASH IN COLD WATER AND 1/2 CUP OF SALT (the salt helps the color to stay in.) If your girlfriend, wife or a friend has a styrofoam head for a wig, this is perfect to stretch your cap over and let dry. If not, find a ball that the hat will fit over and let it air dry. NEVER PUT THE CAP IN THE DRYER.

You can hand wash your caps in the kitchen sink in about 10 minutes. Use cold water and liquid detergent (non bleach) and swish them around together to mimic the action of a washing machine. Drain and refill the sink with clear water and swish around once more to rinse. Take them outside and do a "tomahawk chop" with the cap in your hand to flick out excess water, then hang them on a clothesline with a clothespin holding the back of the cap (or the adjustable strap if the cap has one). It takes a few hours outside to dry, a bit longer if you hang them in the shade to avoid fading.

If your cap is wool, hand wash in sink with Woolite or other mild detergent. Do not wash in washing machine and DO NOT put in dryer. Pat the hat dry with paper towels then wear it until it's fully dry.

They have a special gadget called a Cap washer. You put the hat in it and then put it in the dishwahser or wahser machine, it is pretty cheap to buy on line.

Answer 2

You can try putting the cap in the washing machine. Put it on a VERY gentle cycle, and only for a little while. If there are stains, apply some stain remover to those areas before washing to help get it clean faster. Otherwise, try washing it by hand in the sink. Use soap for clothes and a bristle brush to scrub. This can also be done outside in a large bucket or under the hose if the weather isn't too bad. Do not put the cap in the dryer, though. The fabric or materials in the cap may not do so well. Let it air dry, but if it is sunny, place it in a warm, spot out of direct sunlight for a few hours to dry. Direct light will fade the colors

Answer 3

At Walmart, for a few bucks by the hangers and such, you will find a baseball cap shaped "basket" that you lock your hat into. You can then throw it in the dishwasher or washing machine. I would recommend using Woolite and oxyclean to get the salt and dirt out of it without damaging the color or fabric.
