How to Remove Sweat Stains From a Baseball Hat
It’s not the end of the world if your baseball hat gets a few sweat stains on it. In fact, it’s quite easy to remove them!
Introduction
Body sweat is mostly water with electrolytes like sodium and potassium, as well as small amounts of urea, a waste product from the body’s breakdown of protein. Urea is what makes sweat smell. When sweat dries on clothing, it can leave a yellowish stain.
What You’ll Need
To remove sweat stains from a baseball hat, you’ll need the following:
-A clean, dry towel
-A bowl of lukewarm water
-Mild dish soap
-A toothbrush
-A clothes iron
-A clean, dry cloth
Steps to Remove the Stain
Removing sweat stains from a baseball hat is a two-step process. First, you’ll need to pretreat the sweat stains with a stain remover. We recommend using OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder. Second, you’ll need to launder the hat in your washing machine using hot water and laundry detergent.
Here are the specific instructions:
1) Pre-treat the sweat stains with a stain remover:
-Pretreat the sweat stains by sprinkling OxiClean powder onto the affected areas of the hat.
-Gently rub the powder into the fabric, and then let it sit for about 5 minutes.
-Once the stain remover has had time to work, wet a sponge with warm water and gently dab at the treated areas to remove any residue.
2) Launder the hat in your washing machine:
-Place the baseball hat in your washing machine (you can wash it with other items of clothing).
-Add laundry detergent to your machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-Turn on your machine and select the HOT water setting. Allow the cycle to run its course.
– Remove your baseball hat from the washing machine and check to see if the sweat stains have been removed. If they’re still there, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until they’re gone!
Other Tips
Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when removing sweat stains from a baseball hat:
