Thanks for the vinegar tip, @jessica37! I’ve heard that, but I wasn’t sure how to mix it. What ratio do you recommend?

22

A 1:1 ratio works well! Vinegar can really freshen up the hat too without leaving any harsh smells.

23

Good to know! I also love using baking soda as a gentle abrasive for stains. Anyone else use that?

24

Yes! Baking soda mixed with water makes a paste that’s great for spot cleaning. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly afterward.

What about the shape of the hat? I always worry about ruining it when cleaning. Suggestions?

To maintain shape, stuff the hat with a towel while it dries. That way, it won’t lose its form!

27

I’ve been using a hat form when drying mine. It works really well to keep its shape intact!

28

That sounds great! Do you have a specific product you recommend for the hat form?

29

Just any sturdy plastic form should work! I’ve found some on Amazon that are affordable and effective.

30

I’ve noticed that some of my hats develop a funny smell even after washing. Any tips on avoiding that?

31

Try adding a little essential oil to your wash! Just a few drops can add a fresh scent and combat odors.

32

I need to try that! But what about long-term care? I don’t want to wash them too often.

33

Spot cleaning is key! Keeping a lint roller handy helps too to remove sweat and dirt without a full wash.

34

To keep your golf hats sweat-free, I highly recommend using a good sweatband underneath. Brands like Under Armour have great options that really absorb sweat effectively.

I’ve found that using a fabric sweatband makes a huge difference, too! You just pop it in and it feels so much fresher.

36

I’ve also tried anti-stain sprays designed for hats, which seem to do wonders. Just spray them before heading out, and they really help fight stains.

You can’t go wrong with the ‘Hat Shield’ spray. It’s worked like a charm for me, keeping my hats looking good without any yellowing.

I swear by specialized hat liners! They’re super easy to use and can be removed and washed too, which is a plus for hygiene.

Those liners sound great! Do they fit all sizes of hats?
