Washing machine

If your baseball cap is especially dirty or if it has begun to develop an odor, you may want to wash it in your washing machine. Be sure to set your machine to a gentle or delicate cycle, as a normal cycle may damage the baseball cap. In addition, wash your baseball cap in cold water to avoid shrinking. Place the baseball hat in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase to prevent it from getting tangled in other items and losing its shape.

Laundry detergent

You will need laundry detergent, a toothbrush, water and a towel.

Steps

Assuming you have a white baseball hat that is starting to look a little dingy, there are a few things you can do to clean it. First, you will want to check the care label on the hat to see if there are any specific instructions. If there are no specific instructions, you can proceed to the next step.

Check the label

Before you start cleaning your baseball cap, it’s important to check the label. Most caps are made of cotton or polyester, which can both be machine-washed. However, some caps may be made of materials like wool or leather, which require different cleaning methods. If you’re not sure what material your cap is made of, err on the side of caution and hand-wash it instead of machine-washing.

Pre-treat the stains

Start by blotting up any moisture with a clean cloth. If the bill is bent, pre-treat it with a stain remover before laundering. Apply the solution to the entire bill, not just the spots.

If you don’t have a pre-treatment product on hand, you can make a DIY solution using one part dish soap and two parts baking soda dissolved in warm water. Apply this mixture to the bill with a clean cloth, then let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

Put it in the washing machine

You can easily clean your white baseball cap in the washing machine. Just make sure to put it on a delicate cycle and use cold water. You may also want to add in a mild detergent. If your cap is very dirty, you can pre-treat it with a stain remover before putting it in the machine.

Hang it to dry

Baseball caps are not just for sports fans. They are a popular fashion accessory for people of all ages and have even been known to make appearances on the red carpet. But no matter how you wear your baseball cap, it will eventually get dirty and need to be cleaned.

The good news is that cleaning a baseball cap is fairly simple and can be done with items that you probably already have in your home. All you need is a little bit of water, some mild detergent, and a soft-bristled brush (to avoid damaging the fabric). Follow the steps below to get your baseball cap looking good as new.

-Start by wetting the cap with a few squirts of water from a spray bottle.
-Add a small amount of mild detergent to the wet fabric and work it in with your fingers or the soft-bristled brush.
-Rinse the soapy water off of the baseball cap with more water from the spray bottle.
– Hang the baseball cap up to air dry.
