Removing sweat stains from hats


Recommended Posts

Put it in the garbage and buy a new one.

Or use the dish washer.

It all depends on the hat. If it's cotton like the OP posted, go with the dishwasher method. However, I typically wear a TX Rangers 5950 New Era wool hat. I personally would never put it In the dishwasher or completely soak it for fear of deformity. I simply spot scrub it with a hot wash cloth when the sweat stains get out of hand...looks like new and doesn't loose it shape or shrink.

As an umpire I sweat so much I will roll though several wool hats a season. If you sweat a lot and wear wool you can scrub them but it's hard to keep them clean at all. After a few months they go into the trash. that's the best solution when the salt starts showing up. You can try places like Honigs.com, purchaseofficials.com, gerrydavis.com and umpattire.com for specialized cleaning products but most of the time, just throw and replace. Do not wash or dry clean wool caps.

I tend to be a little more gentle with my hats than the dishwasher... I wet the hat and dab at the sweat stains with a sponge until they are gone. If it's really stinky sometimes I will sprinkle a little baking powder on the hat and "wash" in cool water. No need for harsh detergents or anything... Think about it, your head sweats and sweats all those detergents into your skin. No thanks.

Seconded. I was amazed how well it took the stains out of a white hat the first time I used Oxiclean. Been using to every few months to refresh my hats since

First, War Eagle, second and am I the only person that just washes hats in cold water, gentle cycle and air dries?

 

Been doing it for years. Tech hats, fitted, cotton, wool, truckers. Really never matters. Over the summer (5 months a yr here) I bet I wash each hat 2-3 times and I have a ton of hats.

If you have a pool, dunk in the pool water and let it dry. Lightly chlorinated. Works well enough and doesn’t affect the color much if at all.

I do the same thing & have never had any issues.

Get sponsorship from OEM. You'll be wearing a new cap every week.

Clean it as you may, it'll never look the same as it was brand new. Accept the worn look ( which I prefer, cause it even looks more comfortable ), or get a new cap every season.

Soak with warm soapy water after each round will help, but the rinse will also take away some of the coloring.

A little bit of detergent, mix it with water and a toothbrush. Works very well
