Step-by-Step Guide
Assuming you’re starting with a dry leather baseball cap, the first thing you need to do is remove any dirt or debris that might be on the surface. You can do this by lightly brushing the leather with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush.
Next, it’s time to clean the sweatband. The sweatband is the part of the baseball cap that comes into contact with your forehead, and it’s usually made of a different material than the rest of the hat (often it’s made of cotton). To clean it, simply remove it from the hat and wash it in your sink with some mild soap and warm water. Once it’s clean, set it aside to air dry.
Now you can focus on cleaning the rest of the hat. To do this, mix together a solution of 1 part distilled white vinegar and 2 parts water in a bowl. Dip a soft cloth into this solution and then use it to wipe down the inside and outside of your leather baseball cap. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies!
Once you’ve thoroughly wiped down your hat with the vinegar solution, rinse it off with some plain water. Finally, let your hat air dry completely before putting it back on your head.
Conclusion
With proper care and cleaning, your leather baseball cap should last you for many years. By following the tips outlined in this article, you can keep your cap looking its best.
