- In this video, I’ll show you the best way to clean a dirty hat! Follow these steps, and your hat will look brand new:
1. Fill a sink with water. Warm water is best, but make sure that it is compatible with the material of your hat (warm water will shrink wool).
2. Apply laundry detergent (with no bleach) to dirtiest areas of the hat.
3. Take an old toothbrush and gently scrub in the detergent on the dirty areas.
4. Using the toothbrush, add water to create suds with the soap and to spread the cleaning solution.
5. On heavy stains, use a magic eraser to remove them. Gentle swiping strokes will work best to remove the dirt and grime.
6. Rinse the hat thoroughly will cool, clean water to wash the dirt and remaining detergent away.
7. Pat the hat dry with a clean towel.
8. Allow the hat to air dry. Place a rolled up towel under the brim/bowl of the hat to ensure that the hat dries in the right form.Never put hats in the dryer because it can damage them.
Remember these tips:
* It's safer and more effective to wash baseball caps by hand.
* Air-drying ensures the cap preserves its shape.
* The fabric of the cap matters and can inform if it should be spot-cleaned only.

I trust this man bc he is wearing a hat while teaching us how to clean a hat
A very clean hat I must say
That Chuck Norris American hat made my day! God bless America. ❤️
OMG YOUR VIDEO REALLY HALPED ME CLEAN MY CAT HAT, I WORKED SO WELL!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!🤩😍🥰
Good tips! Thanks
You're welcome Marcia!
This is exactly how I do it. I find hanging the hat from a door nob with a towel under the dripping brim dries them fastest.
Useful video. Go ahead...
My Vetern hat needs cleaning bad. I will use the detergent type to clean it and see how it goes. Thanks.
Thanks, for showing your method. Pro-tip; Use the product called "Awesome" found on same aisle as the expensive "Oxy-clean" cleaner. Awesome is 20X's better and only $1 a bottle. Awesome also works on cloths. Next time find your worst condition hat and tell me what you think. I usually pre-Rinse hat, use a brush, then squirt awesome on hat and work in with brush, rinse and hang outside. Thanks, for showing your method.
Thanks for sharing this tip! I’ll definite try it out. If it works better and is even cheaper, then that’s a win-win for me! Thanks Woody!
How about cleaning the mesh like the Columbia hat you have on when it yellows
Hi Coach Commerce,
i bought a Vans bucket hat that's 100% nylon with 100% polyester lining. Its says to "spot clean only" in the tag sewn to it. Im really lacking in certain life skills, how do i spot clean?
broo thanks you saved me :>)
Bro, I’m lovin’ the Chuck Norris America hat lmao😎
Chuck Norris the Kung Fu Actor from the 70’s?
Chuck Norris, the badass that is printed right on the front of the hat that I am referencing in the comment section of this video, yes.
Master of martial arts and acting….
I am confused as to why you are asking me because Chuck is clearly seen on the hat in the video.
????
does this work with pink UV new era hats? didnt seem to work well with mine maybe misfollowed sumnsteps 😂

Hey man not sure if you will see this, but will this prevent lice?
Thanks for the info! I followed about YT video and two hats got ruined in the washer.
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Hand wishing with hats has always worked best for me. Doing so, you can control the detergent around and how much the hat is scrubbed/agitated. Plus, air drying has always worked best for me too. It take a little longer to dry, but the hats don’t get damaged that way.
I wash my caps in the washing machine with my shirts with out any problems. Do not wash them with pants, especially with zippers, or they will get torn -- don't ask me how I know.
I put my hat in a pillow case in the washer and comes out great.
Oh and Dawn dishwashing soap works great and get out even oil stains.
How do i check for what the brim is made out of?
how do you determine whether the hat has a cardboard bill?
You can feel the difference between a cardboard bill and a plastic bill. The plastic is far more rigid and tends to be what current hats are made of. Cardboard was a thing in the 80s and 90s or earlier or really cheap hats.
I'll give ya a billion for the Chuck Norris hat!
Haha! I know someone would appreciate it in the video. I'll get around to posting it on eBay soon. If you turn to eBay, you'll find them well under the billion threshold. lol
How do you clean vintage hats with the cardboard bill? Just brush the hat the best you can?
I just am drying them but i can’t seem to rinse soap off
Can I put my cap into the washer?
Let it clean ?
How do you tell cardboard vs plastic
Great question! Most modern hat brims nowadays are plastic or some type of composite polymer. You'll run into cardboard brimmed hats that are older or vintage occasionally. I can usually tell by flexing / bending the brim gently. If it has a lot of give or bend It could be cardboard and I usually don't chance it. If the brim is more stiff/hard with less give it almost always plastic. I hope this makes sense. But like I said, most hats nowadays are made to be hand washable. I hope this helps! ~ Justin
Well my hat has a whole in it so I can tell if it’s plastic haha
@@CoachCommerceyeah I had this old hat my grandpa gave me and it got sweaty and dirty after wearing it for a few months threw it right into the washer and dryer even tho it didn’t get messed up the brim was made out of cardboard making the brim very low and I haven’t worn it since
Top rack in the dishwasher with a PH neutral detergent. It's that simple
How do you determine what material the brim is made of, plastic or cardboard?
Fr idk want to do anthing until ik for sure.
How do you store your hats?
I store my hats (as well as most of my other inventory) in big rubbermaid bins. It keeps them nice and organized for inventory purposes, and keeps them from getting crushed/damaged. I get storage containers from Sam's club, but you can find them at any store like Walmart or Target. Most tubs are stackable if you don't have shelves.
Hey Justin thanks for the information I have ruined a couple hats trying to get stains out. How do I find your eBay store? I’d like to see your products.
Thanks, Kay
Hi there Kay! Glad I could help. I have two stores. My smaller store under the same name as this channel is "coachcommerce." My larger anchor store is "route*46*"
I use a balloon with a towel over it inside the hat to keep shape
Great vid, only problem is 99% of hats have cardboard brim.
Be easier buying a new hat!
Not when you have a hat you love and can't find anymore
