    First use a product for pre-treating the stains if you have one handy and let the hat sit for 10 minutes, then launder it on the cold cycle with regular detergent, but do not use bleach or products marketed as bleach alternatives. Then, keep the hat out of the dryer and allow it to air dry. Washing your hat in the dryer can result in the brim or other parts of the hat being deformed and you should never wash a wool hat.

    What are some good dishwasher detergents for cleaning ball caps in the dishwasher?
    Community Answer
    None! Most of them contain cleansing chemicals that can bleach the color out or just break down the material. I've pretreated with Oxi-Clean and had good results on whites as well as colors with no fading.

    How do I clean baseball hats in a dishwasher if I only have a dishwasher tablet?
    Community Answer
    Just use water - no tablet or detergents. Detergents might change or destroy the colors. A color safe pre-treater could be used for a really soiled hat.
