Anyone have any tips on washing FlexFit fitted hats? Last time I put one in my dishwasher it totally ruined it and it was a sweet Eagles hat. I figured you guys would know

Try peeing on it

[reese125]

or if the hats white--cum is the best bleaching agent

it did wonders for my socks

its the best way to clean a hat wingspan.  What did it do to the hat? 

Yeah...a porcelain hat.

You have a box that is shooting dozens of streams of piping hot water and abrasive soap to clean something that is probably either wool or cotton? Good luck with that.

the back part of the hat just shrunk down and never got rid of these horrible wrinkles...its because FlexFit hats have spandex pu in the fibers...I must of had the wrong settings on in the dishwasher or something. my mom used to wash my hats in the dishwasher all the time, but back then there were no FlexFit hats. I went to FlexFit website....found zero info on cleaning...Zanshin I also checked out that website and some others, but nothing specific so far for FlexFit...guess I'll keep digging.

Coming to a football message board for advice is always such a good idea.

[mussa]

hmmm a football message board....asking about how to clean hats. thats pretty far fetched idea I think. 50% of you don't do work anyway so I figured I'd have you guys find me some facts. So far though semen and piss seem to be my best bet.

[Feva]

That's pretty universal though... you can never go wrong with piss.

i'm just gonna throw shtein out there then...can't hurt

CLEANING NEWER BASEBALL CAPSPro Flex fit hats - fit "just right!"

Cotton, wool or jersey, what are your baseball hats made of?

    *       Cotton twill is strong and durable and has that "cotton" look to it - the older it is the better it looks
       
    *       Cotton polyester blends are tough, bright and usually colour fast
       
    *       Jersey mesh is a durable, colorfast knit that is easy to wash
       
    *      Wool is warm but can shrink in water and/or heat situations - see CLEANING WOOL BASEBALL CAPS below.

Lets say that you have fairly new baseball hats made out of cotton, a cotton blend or jersey knit. Washing them should not be a problem. Most baseball hats today use a plastic form to shape the brim, not cardboard. The plastic can withstand a wash with no deformation.

So if your baseball caps have been made in the last ten years and are made out of one of the above materials (except wool), just spray any dirty areas with a prewash spray (Pre-treat the liner or headband with a enzyme based laundry pre-spray before washing) and simply toss them in to the clothes washer with the rest of your clothes (similar colours, cold water wash if possible, warm if you have to, hot - no way! ALSO NO BLEACH)

If you want to hedge your bets and be extra careful you can get one of those plastic forms for baseball hats, strap your hat into it and then throw it into the washing machine. After the wash let your baseball hats air dry. Couldn't be simpler.
NEVER PUT YOUR BASEBALL HATS IN A CLOTHES DRYER!

Using Dishwashers? You may run across information that infers it is OK to wash your baseball caps in the dishwasher.

(Including "I have also seen a cap frame which you can purchase for the dishwasher which holds the hat in place for washing in the dishwasher - again removing after the wash cycle and air dry." OR "To clean baseball caps without destroying their shape, place them on the top rack of the dishwasher and run through a complete cycle.")

This is not recommended. Dishwashers are for dishes, clothes washers are for clothes. When was the last time you ate a meal out of one of your baseball hats?

If you have a reason to doubt whether your older baseball caps have a plastic brim and if you would be devastated if anything happened to them then err on the side of caution, see next.

You suck.

[ice grillin you]

how about spending the 20 bucks to buy a new one...jesus

otherwise put it in the washing machine on gentle cycle with a bunch of towels and sheets

[SunMo]

on a list of solutions to this problem...a dishwasher is about 70th, right after walking through a carwash with the hat on my head

[Wingspan]

At least that will wax your hat.
