How do you wash Ball Caps?

[Knife Lady]

I wash Brad's on gentle cycle in washer but I take the cap out before the spin cycle starts. This system works great for me. If you have a bad stain then use like dawn or any dish detergent and an old toothbrush .

wash em? I thought the sweat stains and smell gave it character?

Ha!

I actually wash my Ball Caps when the Smell starts to bother me...

Well, actually when the Wife says to...

I have (er.. my wife has) washed them on "gentle" and set them out to dry. Well made ones survive, cheap ones don't.

I've also dunked them in the bucket when washing cars, scrubbed a little, rinsed with the hose, and put them back on. Clean hat, cool head, and clean car.

Huh...

What is this car washing thing you mention?!
Is that like Rain?!

Lately, yeah. I do prefer clean cars, though. I am a car guy (Jeeps, actually), so a bit biased.

I only really about having a Clean Truck/Jeep when I am going to be traveling a fair distance or I have to work on 'em...

Dirt and Mud keeps people from leaning on them in town...

Hand wash then stuff a towel inside and let it air dry

 

[ptt811]

Or I had a deal where you put the hat inside it and it holds it shape...then you put it in the Dish washer. That worked well also

I have the same thought quite often too...

I just toss them in the washer and let them hang dry. I've never had any problem doing it that way.

I just throw them in the washer, then let them dry on a coffee can/tub (usually folgers). keeps the form and no wrinkles

I've been hanging out here too much. I saw the title of the thread, and read it as:

I hand wash mine and then throw it back on my head and go to work. I was amazed the first time I tried it at how well it works.

I just throw them in the wash with the clothes, then when the wash is done...I put on the cap and let it dry on my head. Keeps it from shrinking up.

Wash? I thought dirty ball caps went with the woof shirt?

 

[Colt556]

Lots of good tips on here, well most of them at least I've never washed one before and I have a couple that I can't replace so I wanted to be careful with them. Thanks for all the info.

never put caps on them, they look fine unadorned. maybe a little trim now and then, but that's all.
