How to Wash a Baseball Cap
A cap can lose its shape in the wrong wash. Hand cleaning is the safest way.
Check the label
Some caps are not suitable for the machine at all. Follow the care label first.
Hand wash is best
Mix lukewarm water with a little mild detergent. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the sweatband and the crown.
Do not soak the brim
A soaked brim can warp or soften. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Rinse and press
Rinse with cool water and press out the water without wringing.
Dry on a form
Dry it over a bowl or a rolled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Keep it out of direct heat. See best ways to care for your caps.
Avoid the dryer
Heat can shrink the cap and damage the brim.
