You can skip washing your hair, but you can’t go without a hat! Baseball caps can shield you from the sun, hold your hair back, and add a touch of style. Of course, their greatest use is when you’re too lazy to wash your hair—just throw on a hat, it’s practically a lifesaver!
However, while this baseball cap looks great on, it’s a different story when it comes to washing it! The part of a baseball cap that gets dirty most easily is the inner lining. With the soaking of cosmetics and sweat, the inner lining fabric easily turns yellow and gets dirty, and the stains penetrate very deeply. It takes a lot of effort to clean it properly.
For most people, if they can throw something in the washing machine, they will never wash it by hand. But if you machine wash a hat, it will be ruined. So baseball caps must be hand washed.
Baseball cap cleaning tips
1. First, take a basin of warm water and add a certain proportion of detergent according to the type of stain on the hat (detergents for various stains are available on Taobao, or you can use regular detergents). Soak the hat in the water, but do not soak it for too long.
2. After thoroughly soaking the hat, use a soft-bristled brush with less abrasive bristles to scrub the areas that need special cleaning. Hard-bristled plastic brushes are indeed effective, but over time, they can cause the fabric to develop a noticeable “fuzzy” layer.
3. After washing, simply shake off the water gently. Do not use a washing machine to spin dry, as it is unnecessary and will deform the hat.
4. When drying, avoid hanging the hat. You can stuff the hat with a clean, absorbent cloth or old clothes and lay it flat on a well-ventilated and dry platform. The cloth will absorb water and dry quickly while maintaining the original shape of the hat.
