So my goddam cat pissed on my favorite hat. How do you guys wash your hats? I have heard that the dishwasher works well, but how to go about this? Should i use dishwashing soap? And secondly, how would you kill a stupid ass cat. jk.

I used this thing i bought at lids, its a white frame that you put the hat in, and i put it in the dishwasher with normal everything (even some dishes) i did it once and it was perfect, tried it another time and it ruined my hat. dont know why. oh well. just go for it! if you dont have that plastic frame thing, then put your hat over a bowl to keep it out.

I think dishwashing detergent might be too strong to use twice on a hat... I'm not sure I'd use it once. I might just use dishwashing soap on the hat and put it in the dishwasher with that (inside the washing thingy from lids).

I get pretty attached to baseball caps, so gotta wash em, can't just throw em when they get dirty. I usually just fill the sink with hot water and some tide and oxyclean. I let it soak for awhile, then I just scrub it with my hands. I don't know how well that will work for a hat with cat piss on it. I don't think I would put anything on my head that a cat pissed on, but I'm kinda a germ freak like that.... best of luck....

I say dont wash it, just wear it as is, you will attract all kinds of pussay.


FTW

I've heard of using the 'cap holder', like someone else mentioned.
But if I were you, I'd just wash the back part of it, febreze it and try not
to get the brim real wet. Whenever I've had a hat washed, it
pretty much ruined the hat for me (I like the brim stiff/bent). So
just beware.

I'd toss that hat....

but if its that important to you go with the dishwasher method.... dont use too much dishwasher detergent it contains bleach and will fade your hat.

Also dont put liquid dish soap or laundry detergent in the dishwasher either.... I found that lesson out the hard way. I had a kitchen full of bubbles.

Run down to your local pet store and pick up some Nature's Miracle concentrate solution. It's designed specifically for getting out urine smells. Rinse the hat with warm water, pretreat the stains in Nature's Miracle, then let it sit for a while but don't let it dry out.

Fill the kitchen sink with hot water and Oxy Clean and let it soak. Once it's soaked for a while give it a good scrub and then a rinsedown. Repeat as necessary. I've been washing my hats this way for years regardless of whether or not one of my cats has pissed on it (which one of them has).

yeah i might just toss it, but i will see what i can do first.

i put it in the sink with laundry detergent and a little bit of rubbing alchohol. just hand wash it. the alchohol works pretty well. just washed one of mine 2 nights ago actually.

I have washed my cap MANY times in the dishwasher with our normal dishwasher detergent, and it works fine for me. Sometimes there is a little soap residue left.. but the brushes off. I don't have one of those hat doohickeys either... I just put it in the top shelf by itself, and let-er-rip.

the cat... you could light it on fire... just make sure you do that OUTSIDE... you wouldn't want it running around catching the drapes on fire.

Cap washer thing works great

Speaking of hats. How is the best way to make the brim all torn and frayed? I see alot of people with that style.

i put mine in the washer in cold water on delicate with woolite.

washing them is the easy part, you need to be careful how you DRY them. i stuff the body with t-shirts to get it back into shape and then i let it sit for a while. be careful with the brims when they're wet, too. the plastic gets soft and you can snap it if you have a sharp crease or extreme curve to your brim.

I think you can actually buy them that way.. But I bet some sandpaper would do the trick.
But IMO, I think that is the goofiest looking crap... almost as goofy as wearing it sideways. Every time I see someone with their baseball cap on sideways, I just want to slap it off thier head. Should it really bother me that much?? prolly not...

Yeah, sandpaper might work. Might be better for me to buy one already torn on the brim? That way don't have to risk screwing it up.

It must be fairly cool as I see ALOT of people wearing caps with the frayed brims.

my cap brim is frayed.... I've worn it almost everyday for 4 years.


Everyone tells me its time for a new hat but I just cant let go. Its broken in and fits my head perfect. Finding a good hat isn't easy.

Just throw it in the washer, just like any other article of clothing (I usually actually wash it -with- clothes). Let it go through the spin cycle to get it mostly dry, then put it on your head right after it comes out, to "remold" to your cranium.

If it dies in the process, it was time for a new one anyway.

Or you could hand wash it in the sink, with all that "gentle cleaning" crap.

It's a baseball cap, for crying out loud.

If the urine stench doesn't come out, see above comments about it being a baseball cap, and getting a new one.

If the brim isnt cardboard jst toss it in the washer.

Hey guys,

I need to help to wash my fav. Fiited baseball cap. I was just thinking right now to just take a bucket with Hot water. Add some liquid hand soap, soak the whole hat into the bucket let it sit in there. Then later start rubbing the hat with my fingers. After that just rinse the hat with cold water. And just Air dry it by letting it just sit there for couple hours. Help me out if i'm wrong i have to no clue how to wash it its my first time.

thanks,
Jimmy

DOn'T!

tie the hat to your bumper and drive around with it like that for a week or so...

Don't listen to those guys...that was like so two-years-ago...

Just masturbate furiously...you can figure out the rest.

so nice you asked it twice!

The paragraph doesnt make any more sense the second time.

What's the hat? Team? Logo? and just put in on the top rack of the dish washer alone w/o dishes and wash on gentle cycle. Then let it air dry. I have a Cowboys hat I washed like that for 15 years!

I know the dishwasher is a good idea but i don't want to do it that way. Can't i just wash it in a bucket with hot water and Soap, and just use hands to clean it? please help me out guys

I'm telling ya the dishwasher is the way to go. And if she doesn't want to do it smack her in the mouth!

I concur.

I just toss mine in w/ a load of laundry. Then take 'em out when it's clean and make sure to straighten the brim and pack a towel in 'em to air dry.

The only hat I ever jacked up was an AlpineStars hat that was a Flex-Fit... I stretched the elastic too much while it was drying and now it don't fit so good. The other 40 hats or so I've washed came out fine.

The key is absolutely making sure the hat's stretched over something so it keeps its shape while drying, or it'll shrink.

Not gospel by any means but helpful:

I don't have the Cap cage. Is there any other cleaning methods?

A sure-fire way to clean that Mo-Fo is, fill the sink with cold water and add
2-3 cap full's of Woolite! let soak for a while then massage with your finger's.
Remove the cap and wash with more cold water. Let the hat dry and you're
good to go :D

I've been doing this for many year's and have not screwed-up a hat yet :disco:

does it matter if i use hot or cold water to wash it with? what about rinse cold or hot?

if it were me, i wouldnt of had a ****ing cat in the first place to piss on my hat. But i if i did, i'd shoot it.


good thing it wasnt me

dry Clean Your Hat

put the cat in the microwave and stick it on high. then proceed to put item over peep hole that is non seethrough.

didn't read thread, but I used to have a plastic thing that you would fit around the hat. http://www.operationgadget.com/images/baseball_cap_cleaner.jpg

and dishwash it
