That cap a little too broken-in? Clean it up!

Step 1  

Fill a pan or bowl with hot tap water and just let the cap soak for a while to loosen the dirt.

Step 2  

Fill the sink with water as hot as tolerable and add enough dishwashing liquid or Woolite to make suds.

Step 3  

Scrub the cap with an old toothbrush. This might take a few minutes, but using a toothbrush isn't going to harm any logo or name that might be on the front of it.

Step 4  

Run water over the cap until all traces of soap are gone.

Step 5  

Dry the cap with a couple of white hand towels and pack the inside so as to shape it like it was being worn.

Step 6  

Set it on a bath towel in front of a floor fan. Then in a couple of hours, you'll have a baseball cap as good as new!

Tips

  • Washing caps in the dishwasher may cause them to shrink or change colors.

Warnings

  • Be careful the detergent doesn't contain bleach or whitening agents.
  • When drying the cap, to help prevent colors from bleeding try to use a white towel with white or light colored caps.
