Great tip! I always worry about damaging the fabric. What about those spray-on stain removers?

I love using OxiClean on my hats! Just be cautious with colored ones, as it can fade them easily.

Such a good point! Can’t have my favorite blue hat turn pink. How do you actually apply it?

warrenangela · December 12, 2019, 10:07am

I soak mine in a bucket of water and OxiClean for about an hour before washing. Works like a charm!

That sounds easy! What about drying? Can I put them in the dryer?

Never put hats in the dryer! Always air dry, or you risk losing their shape.

foxjoshua · December 21, 2019, 10:04am

Totally agree! I sometimes use a hat form to keep its shape while it dries.

A hat form? Sounds interesting! Can I make one at home or do I need to buy it?

martinezbrent · December 27, 2019, 10:22am

You can make a DIY hat form with a water bottle! Just place your wet hat on it to help maintain the shape.

That’s such a clever idea! What about stubborn stains that won’t come out?

For really tough stains, I suggest a paste of baking soda and water. Scrub gently and rinse it off.

I’ll have to try that! Any specific hat types we should be careful with?

To keep your golf hats looking fresh, try storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This prevents fading and shape distortion. Regularly clean with a soft cloth to remove dirt and sweat.

Great tips! I also recommend using a fabric protector spray. It can create a barrier against sweat and stains, prolonging the life of your hat.

Always check the care label before cleaning. Some hats can be machine washed, while others require hand washing or spot cleaning. A thorough wash at least once a month can keep them in great shape.

vegaangela · January 17, 2020, 10:49am

Absolutely! I usually wash mine in cold water and air dry. It does wonders without harming the fabric.

umartinez · January 20, 2020, 10:09am

Using a sweatband inside the hat can significantly reduce stains. It absorbs moisture, so the fabric stays cleaner for longer. Plus, it’s easy to wash!

foleywhitney · January 25, 2020, 10:07am

I never thought about adding a sweatband! That sounds like a smart move.

What types of protective sprays do you all recommend? I’ve seen various options online but am unsure which work best for hats.

christophervance · February 2, 2020, 10:54am

I’ve had good luck with sprays designed for outdoor gear. They repel moisture and stains quite well!
