How To Wash Your Hats :: AMAZING Transformation!

If you watch our channel, you know that I'm almost always wearing a hat. One of the problems with hats is they just get gross! All of the sweat, dirt, hair gunk, and other things that make a hat nasty need to be dealt with. Today I'm showing you the process I use to wash my hats. I know there are lots of ways to do it, but this is the one that works the best for me for the hats I really care about and want to take care of.
This handwashing process is more involved than just tossing it in the dishwasher or washing machine, but I like the results of this so much better!
Here are the products we recommend for this:
OxiClean: amzn.to/3uJ3lqp
Free & Clear Laundry Detergent: amzn.to/2Rd88SC
Soft Bristle Toothbrush: amzn.to/33QzfFr
Do you have a hat washing routine? What do you do? Let me know in the comments below!

I have a couple hat, but with dysautonomia my body forgot how to sweat properly so I don't sweat a lot. I've had those two hats for years now and they will have more dog slobber on them than they will sweat (yes, they have been washed before, but I just use the dishwasher). lol Have a great weekend guys and Sherri I'm so happy to see you feeling better in each video.

Adam I really understand the balding thing. I would suggest shaving your head , I know it seams crazy and can be intimidating. But it was the best thing I have ever done. It was freeing in a way.

I never clean my hats. I think about it. Usually throw them out and buy a new one. With that said , the one thing I would of done was add some that spray and wash as a pretreat first and then put it in the hour. Also agitate the water with my hand for a little bit. I’m the same, I did try the washing machine a few times. Never again. Your video inspired me to try this in the sink. The Seahawks hat I think came out good. Mariners looks new. Nice.
