best way to wash hats?

[BHeemsoth]

I have a golf outing coming up on monday. One of my Taylor Made hats, is white and has become very dirty (dust, sweat, etc.). What is the best way to clean this? I would rather not machine wash it, since that often causes it to lose its shape.


Thanks in advance AT!

dishwasher

dishwasher is great, although since mine has liquid jetdry in it I've just always tossed mine in the washer

Dishwasher, with maybe a cereal bowl inside it so it doesn't get too mangled.

machine wash, then dry on the bottom of an old bleach bottle or something to keep its shape.

so if i go the dishwasher route, i should use powdered detergent?

Use Hair Shampoo and wash it in the sink.

soak it in a bucket of bleach.

if the hat is wool, hand wash it using woolite (sp?)

if it's a cotton hat, you can handwash it using the above methods, or use a shampoo or throw it in the dish washer. they have these plastic holders that retain the shape of the hat while in the dishwasher, so you might want to look into that too.

as for the bleach, dun the white hats look weird if its bright and white? i never really liked the brand new look of hats.. could just be me tho ^ ^
