Baseball caps are very popular, but many people find they lose their shape after washing. Today, I'll share a few simple ways to keep your cap looking like new after washing.
Why do baseball caps lose their shape?
Because baseball caps have a stiff brim and soft fabric. Rubbing them too hard or washing them in hot water can cause the brim to warp and collapse, making them look unattractive.
The Proper Way to Wash a Baseball Cap
1. Handwashing is best.
Use warm water (around 40°C) and a little neutral detergent.
Gently scrub dirty areas with a soft cloth or soft-bristle brush.
Do not rub the brim.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing. Gently squeeze out any excess water; do not wring it out.
2. Use a hat cleaning rack.
Special racks are available that can be placed in the washing machine to protect the cap from losing its shape.
3. Avoid using hot water or a dryer.
Hot water and a dryer can shrink and cause the cap to lose its shape. After washing, hang it up to air dry, out of the sun.
How do I wash a hat with a logo?
Hats with embroidered or printed logos should be washed gently, avoiding harsh brushing on the logo to prevent damage.
Don'ts:
Wash the hat directly in the washing machine
Wring it out vigorously
Tumble dry in the dryer
Wash with bleach
