I have several once perfectly good hats, that are no longer perfect because of sweat stains. How do you guys clean your hats?
thanks

Dishwasher. I use a plastic ball cap washer (purchased online). You can pre treat the hat before you put it in the dishwasher if you choose (for tough stains), and I use a non bleach, non citrus based dishwashing detergent. I run it on a normal cycle, warm but not hot water. I find a bowl that fits the inside of the hat relatively well and dry the hat in a place that has some air circulating, or I will just set it in front of a fan.

I've got so many hats I really don't worry about it. A well stained hat is the mark of someone who has priorities, be outside not inside worrying what your hat looks like. lo

I used to do dishwasher, but now I have a front loader washing machine, so I just toss it in with the laundry. No dryer, just put it on my head for shape and let it air dry...
I use OxiClean powder. About a 8oz to a gallon of water and let it soak for a couple hours. Nothing I've found works better.
Thanks everybody!
I just throw mine in the washer on cold, with a little oxy clean. Then air dry.

I just throw mine in the washer and air dry it once it done.
Just throw it in the washer then air dry. One word of caution that your hat may shrink after washing it a few times.

My hat tends to shrink after I catch a couple big fish ;D
i put my nasty hats in one of the knit mesh bags my wife puts her dainty things in. and i just put it all thru the wash.
then i put them on the line to dry in the sun. they get faded, yes. but there is no more funk. i wear a battered hat like a badge of honor.
Washing machine on delicate. Let them air dry
