When I wash
my hats and ball caps I ruin them. Wash them and they always come out wrinkled
and virtually ruined. Then I pay another 10 to 50 bucks for a new one.
What can I do to save my hats!
If you're not
careful, your hat can lose its shape after you wash it. It could also shrink
or become permanently damaged from washing. Our system of drying lets you
stop worrying about the drying part and makes your hat look as good as
it can look. See below how to wash your hat.Our
drying method works for basically all cotton or wool hats and caps, baseball
hats, golf hats, fishing hats, sun hats, army hats and caps, police caps,
football hats and caps.
Do...
Is it a Wool Hat?
See what it's
made of... Wool needs to be washed in cold water or it will shrink. So,
you're looking at washing your wool hats by hand, and our drying system
is the best way by far to make a wool hat look good again. DO NOT wash
wool hats
in a machine...
wash by hand only and DO NOT DRY in a Dryer.
Check the washing instructions.
They're there
for a reason. If it says dry clean only, then dry clean only. Experts say
this is usually the case with more expensive hats, so chances are if you
spent a bit of money on your hat, you'd like to keep it looking nice –
use professional cleaning only. We called three different cleaners and
the price for a basic cap was from $2.50 to $5.00.
Use the washing machine:
Wash your hat
in warm water and a gentle soap, on a gentle cycle, in a washing machine
(Do Not Dry). The washing machine method works best for hats (other than
wool) as it allows any creases in a hat to better "lose" their shape and
helps give you a better looking hat when drying using our drying method.
Use the dishwasher:
Some say the
dishwasher works best for cleaning most hats. Wash your hats by themselves!
Then use our drying method for the best look possible.
Wash by hand:
If your hat
has a spot or just a lot of grime on the sweatband, you may want to take
care of it with a gentle washing product. Wash the affected area with a
toothbrush or by hand. Then rinse the just washed area. Don't put the whole
hat
in water, but
if you do, just use our simple and easy method to dry it right. And, you
can use our drying system even if
you want to
dry just the band part of your hat... that will make it nice and flat like
new.
Wash your hats sparingly:
Washing your
hat may ruin it outright, the hot water in a dishwasher or washing machine
or if you're washing by hand
take its toll.
Some hats, even some cotton hats, use plastic stitching that will eventually
crack after a few washings.
Never wash it:
You could just
let your hat get so dirty no one wants to touch it but you. If you're really
worried about wrecking your hat by washing it, wear it till it falls off,
or just get it thoroughly wet and then use our easy drying instructions
to dry it without any wrinkles...
it will still
be dirty but it sure will look better.
Don't...
Don't put your
hat in the dryer and don't be reckless about washing wool hats... wash
wool hats by hand in cold water
or take it
to the dry cleaners. Otherwise, use our drying instructions and your hat
will look good again.
Now, if you
are a lady and are reading this, you may think, "I'll wash it while he's
not wearing it and he'll never know!".
You might be
right. But it's better just explain our system to him and he'll be happy
to let you "make it look new again".
And, he might
even do it himself!
