How Do You Clean Baseball Caps???

Hi Folks- My 3 year old loves to wear baseball caps--my problem is how do you clean them? I am afraid to put them into the washing machine or they will get runied. Any advice would be great!

What can I do next?

Thanks everyone for your help--I never would have thought of the dishwasher!

Had many baseball caps in the house- put them in the dishwasher- not with dishes- been doing it for years.

I know you've gotten a ton of responses already, but I wanted to add that my husband's hat goes through the washer all the time (he leaves it wrapped in his dirty clothes which I refuse to separate for him!!) and it ends up totally fine. When I find it there, I just take it out and let it air dry and the shape is normal!

Try the top rack of the dishwasher. They also make plastic molds that hold the hat while washing. Good luck.

I wash my husbands hats in the washer all the time. I never put them in the dyer. I shape them and let them air dry. Learned that the hard way. I put them in a pillowcase and tie the end off. I also pre-treat too.
I've never had and problems.

We put ours in the top rack of the dishwasher. It works very well.

they have special hat cages you can buy to clean them in either the dishwasher or washer. I think you can get them at any store

My mother actually use to put them in the dishwasher on the top shelf...with nothing else in it.. the steam as great and kept them looking new. They do have those plastic holders now that you can buy (cheap at walmart, ect) that allows you to put it in a washing machine as well. I think it is to help keep its shape...

Put them in the top shelf of your dishwasher and drip dry. They make a plastic mold to put them over when you wash them like that but it is usually adult sized. They should be fine all on their own. You can pretreat any stains with regular laundry detergent too.

try washing them in the dishwasher. I do this all the time with my son's caps... You can also purchase a shape saver to use in the dishwasher or washing machine.

I machine wash my husband's and son's all the time, they come out fine. Just don't put them in the dryer,

My brothers always put them in the dishwasher!
