How To Clean A Hat With A Toothbrush
1. Tools: cleaning station, soft toothbrush, hand towels and cleaner(s). For cleaners, we recommend a mild detergent, Oxiclean or even your Epic Cleanse Shampoo, avoiding any cleaners with bleach.
2. Set up your station. Can be a bucket or sink but you need to have a container for water and your prefered cleaning products.
3. Bring your hats into the cleaning station for examination.
4. Thoroughly examine your hats. Sweat stains will come out while soaking, which we'll cover shortly. What you are looking for here are deeper stains: hot sauce, grease, fingerprints, anything darker than a sweat stain.
5. Once you've located the deeper stains, pre-treat these spots with your cleaning product and a soft toothbrush. Apply the cleaner to the area and give it a brush to saturate the area. If you are cleaning a wool hat be careful on how much pressure you apply, taking care not to damage the wool.
6. After you have pre-treated your problem areas let the hat sit for 10-15 minutes.
7. Fill the bucket with lukewarm water and add your detergent sparingly.
8. Submerge the hats in the bucket, stirring the solution. Work the hats thoroughly with your hands to ensure the detergent is penetrating the material completely. Let the hats soak for 30 minutes.
9. After 30 minutes examine the hats and see how the sweat stains and pre-spot stains are looking. If further cleaning is needed work the area with your toothbrush. Submerge the hats back in the bucket and let sit for an additional 10-15 minutes.
10. After 10 minutes has elapsed make a final inspection confirming all spots are clean.
11. Rinse the hats with cold running water to remove all remaining detergent held in the hat.
12. Once all detergent is fully removed take your towel and pat dry.
13. With the excess water removed, place the hat in a sun lit area to air dry. If you have extra smaller towels you can bundle them up into a sphere shape and let the hat rest on that, helping absorb the moisture.
14. Let the hats air dry. We highly recommend avoiding a clothes dryer, which can change the shape and size of the hat. Air dry is your safest bet. If you are in a hurry you can use a blow dryer to help speed up the drying process.
15. Your hat should be clean, dry and ready for wearing. So rock that fresh lid and keep LETIN' IT RIDE!
