This guy surely understands the therapeutic value of cleaning.
Yesterday I saw my ball cap and *thought "Dang, I really need to clean that but I don't know how." And here you post a video about deep cleaning ball caps literally the next day 😂 Thanks!
I love it when that happens, perfect timing! 🙂
His videos are always on time. Thanks Brandon 😊
@@hollid175 thanks so much for watching!
Exactly the same. RUclips becoming psychic?
Nice name!
this video is why the net exists
I really appreciate this video! It inspired me to clean a couple of hats that were pretty stained with sweat salt. I decided to combine vinegar with warm water and a bit of dish soap and let that soak in the sink for an hour or so. After that, I gave them a good scrub in the problem areas with a soft brush, then rinsed, and dried as directed. The inverted bowl trick is genius! I’m happy to report both hats look great now!
I've been wondering how to clean ball caps because the sweatband on mine is so built up with sweat & makeup! You are a rock star!
Those actually came out really good. I wear mostly fitted caps so a machine is not an option and I have some vintage hats that don’t fit anymore but I try this method just to clean them up because they have sentimental value to me. Great job, thanks for sharing.
Fading gives the hat character. 😊
It’s a patina! Lol
I don't mind the fading so much, but I sweat a lot at work and the sweatband in my work hat is disgusting, that's the only reason I even thought about washing it haha.
Means that you're seating! 😅😅😅
Like wrinkle lines in older people.
I stick mine in the top rack of the dishwasher. Never have a problem and they come out nice & clean!
Been doing it this way since I figured out, all my military gear that you weren't supposed to machine wash , cleaned up real nice one time thru. Going on doing it 30 years now and northing has been ruined using this method.
gonna have to try this.
How high heat or what type of program do you use?
@@Miv51miv51 I never looked. I'll check it out when I get home.
Careful, high heat in dishwasher can shrink hats…… (first hand experience..lol)
Brandon, you've read my mind!!!! 😄😁My husband has a few ball caps that needs to be washed. I was going to wash them all by hand as from my previous experience, washing in the machine it kind of ruins it, it looses their shape and all. Thanks a lot for sharing your tips, I'm going to do it your way!!!🤗
Great video!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I’ll wash my fitted caps one at a time. I’ll dry it on my head while I’m washing the next one. That way it dries to my head shape for that perfect fit. 😊
UPS driver here. Can't wait to try this on my sweat-stained hats. Im gonna check out your other videos to find getting salt stains out of my work shirts.
Thanks
Thanks ! Really amazing how it worked out !
I have close to 20 hats, I use the diahwasher..works like a charm.
My hat's off to you -
for this imprssive clean up job
Thank you for sharing !
Thank you! I needed this!
Impressive. I was going to toss one of my favorite hats but I think I'll try your method first. Thanks.
Those are some great looking hats. Go Crew!
I have always thrown them on the top rack of the dishwasher, over a cup. Works great.
I would think you could even put the hat over a bowl.
@@user-tb2wz1tr8y Anything too big blocks the spray from cleaning the inside. The oils in your sweat collect on the inside band.
@@user-tb2wz1tr8y That's what I do. It generally works great. The pretreatment with vinegar is a great idea, though
This amazing! Thank you I want to support my team and not look dirty and you did that just for my hat this is a thumbs up for sure!
Brilliant idea 💡 on cleaning the hats.😀👍
I've always used potato juice and dog biscuits to clean my hats..works great!
Works a treat!
Years ago a friend introduced me to those plastic hat wash racks. They do a pretty good job of helping to keep the hat's shape while being swished around inside a washing machine. After they're cleaned, I keep them in the racks to air dry, so no need to use towels to absorb the moisture. 😁
As a counterpoint: Many years ago I used those to clean my hats and the brims ended up getting torn up from the friction of rubbing against the plastic and clothes. To be fair, I did also toss that in with a regular load of laundry so that may have been where I went wrong. Now I just hand wash my hats.
I always just put the hat over an upside down 2 quart sauce pan to let it dry.
My wife's boyfriend disagrees and says you know nothing of hats.
@@dimitar297 Cool. Do you like to watch?
You nailed it!
I'm 57 and Ive been washing my ball caps in the washing machine all my life. Never had negative results.
Cool story.
As a kid my mom would wash my hats like that. Even had a plastic hat cage that I think she only used for the dryer. Brims were always messed up, hats were only a little bit cleaner. Gonna try this method on my Orioles hat. It's a bit faded, but who knows, I might even try to dye it, we'll see. Could be tricky though and colors will probably bleed into wrong sections, and possibly onto my head lol
Been washing my hats in the shower for years. Shampoo them right on my head
58, been doing them in the wash. My brims get re-formed on day one anyway, so you have to make sure the bend is correct when they come out. Every once in a while the stain is bad enough it needs pretreated.
@@trohan_11 🎩🔨 LOL
I find the best method is the top rack of the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent precludes the need for any pre-treatment and a few clothespins across the brim preserve the brim. Been using this method since the 1970s and have never had any damage.
I live in north Korea please sir what is dishwashers?
@@dimitar297
In the United States of America; that word just means domesticated housewife
Dishwasher is the word they use
@@kamcashman I wonder if he's been using the same one since the 1970's or did he upgrade?
Imagine that! A lint roller to clean the lint off. Ingenious!
Great video, thank you!
Great vid!! Thank you! BTW the Milwaukee Brewers logo is perfect…it’s a baseball glove but has an M & a B in the symbol…chefs kiss!!
Great vid! Would love a vid or suggestions on how to clean wool felt hats too.
Awesome tips 👍🏼
Glad you like them!
I’m definitely gonna try this on my favorite hat. Whatever i tried myself never seemed to work. Let’s hope for the best!
Thank you!
I just sent your video to my sons; thank you!
I tossed em on top rack of dishwasher. Works great!
For a drying mold/rack I've always used a sauce pan. It's a perfect fit and holds the hats shape nicely. If you are cleaning a "one size fits all" type hat with the adjustable snap/band on the back, just put the handle of the pan through the hole.
Do you use the vinegar straight or dilute it??
Discoloring is no issue, gives it that old time weathered look
Great vid. Thank you
I use alcohol markers to color in the bleached spots, or the whole hat
The only thing is the dye is often not actually broken down or washed out, it just wasn't permanent so it migrates when it gets wet. Certain areas on the brim will collect more dye and be darker versus the original colored areas
Looks Good !!!
….have hoarded hats my whole life which is a long time 😂 got a few I’ll try your ‘treatment’ on 👍 thanks
Love it! Thank you 🙏 ❤
Thanks for the video.
Thanks, I am totally going to do this with my hat that needs to be cleaned.
I have been trying to find a way to wash a bunch of my hats. A bunch of them are disgusting from sweat & dirt. Every time I have put my hats in the washing machine or dishwasher, the cap itself breaks down. Ive used those plastic forms, they work ok, but they quickly go flat. That Oxyclean idea sounds good too.
Great video! Thanks for making it
WOW. Great improvement.
That Dawn slide 😊
Very useful video, thank you.
Any advice to clean down coats and jackets please.
Thank you, I came across your channel and found it very helpful. Ilike to krep my stuff looking new, I have clothes, shoes etc that are 20 yrs old and look like new. Subbed your channel
I dry them by pulling them over a 1gal. Paint can which gives me that old time square edge like baseball caps used to have. Everyone always asks me how I get that edge across the top of my baseball hats 😊
Your content is awesome keep up the great work.... Please!
Thanks so much for watching, will do!
You can buy frames that you put a baseball cap into to hold its shape (especially the brim) when washing them in the washing machine or dishwasher. You can use the gentle cycle in the washing machine with cold or cool water to avoid damage.
I use Magic Erasers. They work great.
Same. They're a godsend.
Thanks
THANK YOU for showing which soap you use! I always wonder what is meant by "gentle soap"!
Thanks a lot sir❤
Thanks, subscribed :)
I have been using a product called Hat Saver for a few years now as a pre treatment on new hats and as a pretreatment after washing. Hat Saver comes in a spray can and it prevents sweat from bleeding through. This product works great. One can does at least 5 ball caps.
Interesting! I gotta check that out!
My Chicago Black Hawks (was kind of expensive when I bought it) has faded close to the brim line (sweat) do you have any suggestions for redying
For shaping, I use the bladder from an old soccer ball (one with real stitching for the cover). Carefully remove the cover. Leave the cover piece that holds the valve. You only need to remove enough pieces around the valve to allow the bladder to be pulled out. In use, the bladder won't be fully inflated - just enough so that when the hat is placed over the bladder the light pressure is firm enough to conform to the shape of the hat.
...I use one of those commercially available plastic forms for washing them in the washing machine...the form keeps the hats from losing their shape...works well for me...
Nice video. I was curious looking at those hats with the softball glove. What softball team do you play with in your area? Is your team good?
I did a soaking method....borax and something else in warm water...it was amazing how clean the got
I use balloons to keep the shape of the hats. Work great!
Great vid. Love what you do. I sub'd. I want some of those towels ❤
Thank You! I’ll be trying this on my seriously dirty canvas gardening hat!
Would this vinegar method also work for collar on a jacket?
Great video. My Brewers hats could use a good cleaning soon. 😅
Not a cleaning hats question, but what do you use to dust wooden furniture? Thanks.
I pretreat under the brim if it’s not a black material. Let it sit overnight. Next day, I spray with Simple Green. Let marinate about an hour. Then I put them in a bucket with washing machine soap and water, and soak for a few hours. After a thorough rinse, I dab them with a towel, and set them on a mini floor fan, which drys them, and fills with air to keep their shape. They’re clean, and smell good.
I've been watching your videos because I wanna learn to clean different items and maybe become a professional cleaner, but I have a question on clothes to wear while cleaning I'm looking for something like coveralls to keep my body covered so I don't bring home anything and is simple. Have any brand recommendations?
Dam this stud is getting pretty close to the real thing 🤙🏽
Mahalo
Can you share what brand the fruit hammock is, please?
Back in the day there were some "hat forms" available at some sports supply stores. There were two pars to the forms, one for the inside and one for the outside. They were designed for wading your hat in a dishwasher. Dishwasher soaps are way too harsh for hats but if one uses Dawn dish soap in a dishwasher you will wind up with too many soap bubbles in the washer and it will not drain out properly. One needs to find a low sudsing soap, set the time to the shortest and coolest setting on the dishwasher and wash away. One might try using the internet and see if anyone offers these "forms" and use them only for drying the hat after hand washing.
Now for those few who want to clean and block their cover there are some military supply shops on the internet that carry the proper forms for that purpose.
I soaked mine in the soapy water of the wash rack at the dealership I work, then used the power washer to rinse and the air hose to dry. Good as new.
Great video! I e done this before, the issue is it ruins the brim… the cardboard underneath. ☹️
You are a machine gracias.
Top rack of dishwasher works too
I lay my high-quality golf caps that are stained with sweat out in the rain. Rain water does a terrific job and the cleaning is very uniform.
Great vid! I have one of those addidas performance running hats in white but I can't get it white. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Yes! I would soak it in some oxiclean. Here’s what I did what a similar hat - ruclips.net/user/shortsgTyLaPhpfL8?si=zbZc8C8YrOz5XTCj
I wash mine in the shower. I have a towel on the floor when done I place it on. I used body was as the soap. A good use for body wash.
I would assume the same thing for bucket hats, but any advice on the brim of the bucket hat and how to keep its shape? Bucket hats are not structured like a ball cap. Thanks
Very Interesting
Thank u.
I undo the back band and place it in the washing machine with my clothes when there done I take them out and hang on the fence to dry in the shade not direct sun, hardly no work at all and they look great
I use a similar method, but even less work. Just a bowl of very hot water and a small scoop of oxy clean. Let it soak for 30 min or so, then rinse. Works like a charm. The water does need to be hot though for the oxy clean to do its thing.
Thx
Might be able to find some matching fabric dye if you wanted to put the color back in. RIT makes some...
The hats look great for sure. I would do this if I had a hat that was a memory of an event, like a Super Bowl or The Masters etc, but otherwise, It's just easier to buy a new hat. Great hats on Temu for $3-$5 each. I've bought several and the quality has been quite good. I'll throw them in the dishwasher when they get dirty. If they don't last, I'll just get a couple more for that price.
I used this to clean my sneakers that got road salt on them from winter. I couldn't understand why it came back after it dried or worse it would come back after walking in the dew from the lawn after it dried again, thanks.
I love my hats. I keep and wear them for as long as I can.
What is your vinegar dilution?
I soak mine overnight in water with oxyclean added. Rinse the next day and let air dry. No scrubbing at all. Hats look new.
I’ve found that, in warm weather, the best way to preserve the structure and fit of a hat while drying is to wear it. Molds right to the shape of my noggin.
Every single hat cleaning video its the white salt stains. Not a dark stained lighter hat. Which is what I have. Nice work including that with one of these hats. Great video.
Put your hat is the top rack of the dishwasher with a bowl underneath it. Works perfectly!
Dish washer works great
For dry and to keep their shape I like to use a balloon lightly inflated inside the hat, place them upside down over a towel and apply a fan.
Have you had any experience with the colors running? I have a red Phillies hat and I’m worried the white P will turn pink. Any advice is appreciated!
Shampoo+Conditioner. That is what my hatter said to clean hats and caps with. Basically everything around hats made from cloth can be washed with shampoo. What's good for our skin and hair is also good for the cloth.
And it smells nice on top.
