best way to clean a baseball cap?

[VBM]

my favorite cap is a white fitted Puma cap, but its dingy now. i think machine washing is bad, rite? so how do i clean it then?

Naw, Mack, throw it in with the dirties. Hell, this is how good hats get properly aged. Also, there is a lot of sweat in there, you gotta get it out. A good hat has a life-span of 4-5 years.

Some hats shrink though and get ruined permanently.

Wash it by hand with cold water and a little detergent. But be gentle with it if it's made of wool.

If you wash on cold and air dry it should be fine.

What he said. I have an old Kentucky Wildcats hat that I've had now for 13 years. It's missing a few threads, but when I want it white again, I just put it in with my whites on the gentle cycle.

Air dry, of course.

And happy b-day CSC!

Just toss it in the wash, hat won't get ripped up.

The dishwasher, seriously.

Make sure it dries properly, so you don't get any crappy vertical ridges on the front.
