Like items can include other ballcaps (do a whole load!)

or small garments such as socks, underwear, lightweight pajamas, etc.

Its the best choice for cleaning more structured hats, embellished hats, and deep-cleaning badly stained caps.

Submerge Hat

Place the hat in the soapy water, using your hands to fully submerge it.

Using a gentle, circular motion, work the detergent into the stained or soiled area.

Then, allow the hat to air dry, reshaping using the balled-up towel method if needed.

To make them look their best, stuff them with tissue paper to maintain the round shape.
