How to Clean a Baseball Hat Without Losing Shape: Expert Tips

- Hand-wash the hat. Place the hat in a sink or basin filled with cold water and a mild detergent. Gently swish the hat around to loosen dirt and grime. Rinse the hat thoroughly with clean water.

- Spot clean the hat. If the hat only has a few small spots of dirt, you can spot clean them with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Be sure to blot the stains, rather than rub them, as this could damage the hat.

- Air dry the hat. Do not put the hat in the dryer, as this could shrink it or damage the shape. Instead, air dry the hat by placing it on a towel in a warm place.

- Reshape the hat. Once the hat is dry, you can reshape it by gently molding it with your hands. If necessary, you can use a hat stretcher to help reshape the hat.
