How to Clean a White Ball Cap
- 1). Treat the stains on your hat. Use a pre-treater spray or stick and apply it to the stains on your cap. Pay careful attention to the brim of the hat which may have sweat stains. Rub the pre-treater in with a little cold water.
- 2). Stick your hat on a plastic cage that will help it hold its shape while it's in the washing machine. These are sold at most retailers and are inexpensive.
- 3). Put your cap into the washing machine with a mild detergent and cold water. If you're really nervous, use the gentle cycle. If the hat is severely stained, you can add a booster to the wash such as a little bit of borax or other stain remover.
- 4). Allow the hat to air dry. Never put a hat into the dryer. This could ruin it and cause it to lose its shape or shrink.
