To clean your caps in the dishwasher, start by placing them on the uppermost rack. This position protects them from the direct spray of water that occurs in the lower sections, minimizing the risk of deformation. Before starting the washing cycle, make sure to remove any loose debris or dirt from the cap. Then, initiate a regular wash cycle without any detergent, as most caps don’t require harsh chemicals for cleaning. The hot water and steam generated during the cycle will effectively remove dirt and grime, leaving your caps looking fresh and clean.
This method is particularly beneficial for baseball caps and other structured hats, as it helps maintain their shape while providing a deep clean that hand-washing may not achieve.
