How do I wash baseball caps?

Baseball Cap Cleaning

To clean a baseball cap, you can purchase a commercial product designed specifically for this purpose. It is a basket shaped to hold the cap and you wash it in the dishwasher. Or, you can scrub the cap with hair shampoo using a small brush to remove stains. If the cap is dirty all over, you can wash them in a washing machine. Spray any dirty areas with a prewash spray, wash in cold water, and hang over a large jar or similar object to dry to allow them to retain their shape.

I'm a plumber and I wear a cap all the time. I found that the washing machine is the best. I just hang it on a door knob to dry and it's good to go.

Your caps will come clean quite nicely putting them in the washer in cold water, then let air dry. I've done this and it works very well.

Walmart,K=Mart,...I have even seen them at dollar discount stores...approx cost $3-$6 US.
Hope this helps you....do not put the basket in the dryer.. let cap air dry as stated, put the cap over something to retain the shape or leave the cap fastened in the basket to dry. Have a Gr8 day.

You don't need a special basket, just take a shower with the cap on, clean it thoroughly with your body wash and then shape it and set it in the sun to dry.
