How can you clean a fitted baseball hat without shrinking it?

Question

I just want to get a couple of spots cleaned on it. Is there anyway possible i could wash it without shrinking it? Will it be ok if I just used a toothbrush and soap?

plz help

Answer 1

couple of ways..you can use shoe cleaner

put it in a dish washer..it works great..my husbands white hats get pretty dirty and they always come out white again

or a toothbrush and soap for spot cleaning

hat stores always sell hat cleaner..but it sucks

Answer 2

At most sport hat stores expecially ones in your local mall, they sell this plastic thing that is for washing hats so it doesn't lose its shape. I do not know what its called , but the store will have them hanging up or will definately know what you are talking about, It is white and made out of hard plastic .it is in the shape of a hat already. you open it up and the botom part is shaped like a head and you fit the hat on it close it and then put it in the washing machine. and although you can put this in the dryer its probably best to air the hat . you can also soak your hats for a couple of hours in warm water and mild detergent, and air dry

Answer 3

try one of those "tide to go" sticks. they work pretty well. or get yourself a cap holder. they're speciallt made for washing b-ball caps.
