Put the knitted cap in the pillowcase. Use the washing machine to wash hand-knitted hat, especially wool or cashmere hat, it is easy to cause damage. In order to avoid damage, you have to use a pillowcase, underwear bag or can be washed in the washing machine cloth bag. Zipper up the bag, or tie it up, so that the hat does not fall out from inside. This is a very important step, especially if you are doing very little laundry.
Put the hat in the wash with a lot of laundry. Knitted cap in the washing machine to shake around especially easy to damage, so you can put the hat and a large pile of clothes in the wash together, so the hat is shaken space will be greatly reduced, but together with the laundry is best to almost color, material should be similar, so easy to set the washing mode. Start washing before to put full cold water. Before you put the clothes and knitted cap in, you have to put cold water in the washing machine first. Do not use hot water because hot water will make the hat fade, and some materials of the hat will even shrink. The amount of water should be enough to submerge the clothes. Press pause before the washing machine starts to agitate.
Add a spoonful of mild detergent. To wash wool knitted hats or other clothes, use a detergent made for washing wool. The detergent used should be mild and not contain bleach or any harsh chemicals. Press the hat to the bottom of the water. Many knitted caps, especially wool knitted caps, are slow to absorb water. The hat will float on the surface of the water until it has absorbed enough water. Snap the hat to the bottom of the water can speed up the hat’s absorption rate.
Let the clothing in the water for a while. Let the hat and other clothing in the water for 30-60 minutes. If the hat is particularly dirty, soak it overnight, but not longer than that. Wash on gentle mode. Generally a slightly higher-end washing machine will have a gentle mode, and some will be marked “hand wash mode”. If your washing machine does not have these modes, you can also use the spin mode to wash. In gentle and hand wash modes, the machine spins very slowly and gently, but if you don’t have these modes, spin mode will work just fine, as long as you tuck your hat into a pillowcase and wash it with a load of clothes. Tumble dry. If the hat is still wet at the end of the tumble dry mode, you can tumble dry it again, or you can put it on a dry, clean towel and squeeze it dry.
Flatten the hat to dry. Lay a dry, clean towel on a flat surface and place the hat on it. It is best to dry the hat in a ventilated place, such as a room with an electric fan, but never in a place with hot air or direct sunlight. Let the hat dry naturally, which may take several hours or even a whole day.
Method 2: Hand wash knitted caps
Find a plastic basin filled with water. Can’t use hot or warm water to wash, otherwise the hat will fade, some materials of the hat will also shrink. The amount of water is enough to submerge the hat. If you are only washing one or two hats, a plastic bowl is enough. Pour in mild detergent. Stir well with a plastic spoon so that a layer of foam floats on the surface of the water. Wash wool knitted caps, it is best to have to use detergent specifically for washing wool fabrics, otherwise, you can also use mild detergent that does not contain additives such as bleach. Powdered detergent can be directly dissolved into the water, so the best washing effect.
First, immerse one corner of the hat in the water. Before dipping the whole hat in, try to see if the hat will lose color and if the fabric will react adversely. Immersion must be the back of the head part of the inner edge of the fabric, soak 2 minutes, so that even if there will be any adverse reaction, the damage will not be too obvious. Immerse the whole hat. If there is no adverse reaction to the fabric in the previous step, then you can immerse the whole hat into the water. If it’s just a regular wash, just submerge the hat in water for 30 minutes. If the hat has mud or stubborn dirt on it, then you may have to soak it overnight.
Rinse the hat. Remove the hat from the water, then turn on the tap water and rinse the detergent off with a high water flow. Remember to rinse with cold water until the hat no longer sticks to your hands and you can’t see any foam. Squeeze out the excess water. Squeeze the water out with both hands and then place the hat on a clean dishcloth and pat it gently until no water drips down. Do not wring it out, or the hat will twist and turn. Dry the hat. Dry the knitted hat in an airy place, straighten the shape, and then lay it flat on a towel. If you want to let the hat dry faster, put the electric fan on the side blowing, but do not open the hair dryer with hot wind blowing. Otherwise, the hat is easy to shrink. Similarly, the hat also should not be placed in the direct sunlight place.
Method 3: Wash baseball caps in the dishwasher
Use the dishwasher. Baseball caps can be machine washed, but washing them in the washing machine can be harmful. In contrast, the dishwasher has a milder water stream, but the water must be warm enough to kill any bacteria on the hat. Place the cap in the lower level of the dishwasher. A standard size dishwasher, the lower tines tend to be sparse, so that the edge of the hat can be stuck in, and the bowl-shaped part can be stuck on top of the tines, so that the hat will not be deformed during the washing process.
Add detergent in the dishwasher. Whether you use a sachet or a liquid, detergent is essential. But don’t use detergent for laundry. It’s best to use a milder detergent that doesn’t add any additives or fragrances. Set your dishwasher to fast wash mode. Most dishwashers have at least two wash modes: a full wash mode for washing many dishes at once and a quick wash mode to save time and water. When washing hats, choose the quick mode to avoid soaking for too long, otherwise the hat will be easily deformed.
Dry the hat. Do not use the dishwasher comes with the drying function, but to take out the hat, with a dry clean towel stuffed inside the hat, and then put the hat flat on another towel to dry, so that the hat drying time is not easy to deformation.

Soak the cap in the water for 20-30 minutes so that the dirt on it will soak off. Fill the sink with water and add detergent. The water should be hot, but be careful not to burn yourself. Add 15 ml of detergent to the water. The detergent used should not be fragrant and should not contain any dyes, otherwise it will damage the hat. Mix well with your hands. You can also wash it in a bucket instead of in the sink. If your sink is dirty and you are in a hurry to wash your hat, this may be the best solution.
Dip the baseball cap into the sink. Use a toothbrush or a dishwashing brush to brush the cap clean. Concentrate on the areas with the most dirt, but brush lightly where there is a logo or tag. Rinse the hat under cool water. Drain the water from the sink and turn on the faucet to make sure the water is cold, then put the hat underneath and rinse it off, scrubbing with your fingers every now and then until the detergent is rinsed off. Let the hat dry. Stuff a few clean dishcloths inside the hat to help it set, otherwise the hat will easily deform and you won’t be able to wear it. If you want the hat to dry faster, then you can turn on an electric fan and blow on the side. But don’t use hot air and water, or the hat will shrink.

When the dishcloth has absorbed all the water, remove it and wring it out.
Wipe the straw hat with a wet dishcloth. Wipe the outside of the hat with the dishcloth. If the dishcloth becomes too dry, re-soak it to make sure there is enough moisture to wipe the hat. Wipe off the detergent residue. Wipe off the residual detergent with another damp cloth, noting that the cloth is soaked in water, not the water with detergent just inside. Do not wipe the straw hat so wet, or easily cause shrinkage. Put the hat set on the hat mold to dry. The hat mold can make the hat keep the original shape. If you do not have a hat mold, then you can turn a bowl upside down to act as a hat mold, and then put the hat on it.
