Anybody have any tips on how to clean hats?  I have a "white" golf hat that is basically yellow now and I'm about to throw it away.  But before I do, I'm just curious if there is an easy way to clean it.  Stick it in the washing machine?  The dishwasher?  Hand wash?  Anything??

Thanks!

I put mine in the dishwasher, but I tend to stay away from white hats so I'm not sure how to get discoloration. Maybe dishwasher and then hand wash with bleach?

OK, cool.  Do you have one of those plastic thingies to keep the shape of the hat?  Do they tend to shrink at all?

I just toss 'em in the wash machine.  No problems with shrinking.

Not sure you'll ever get out real bad yellowing though.....

Yeah, I have the plastic things. I've never had any shrink noticeably.

I do the same, but it does wear and fade the color of the hat pretty bad.

I have tons of hats, and wear all white hats often (see avatar). I toss mine in the washing machine with Tide, Bleach and OxyClean (RIP Billy Mays) on hot water setting. They always come out pretty clean. My fitted hats do seem to shrink slightly, but they are usually a little too big to begin with. They are the flex fit so a slight shrinking (on hats) is not an issue.

I use the plastic things, but I sweat pretty bad so there is always a slight discoloration no matter what the color and the damn hats never keep their shape fully after one wash.

I am only buying Loudmouth painters caps now because they do not really need to keep their form.

I have a dark navy blue hat that I destroyed with my mutant sweat on the very first day I wore it. Parts of it turned brown LOL, sucks because it was/is a great hat. Tried the dishwasher and regular washing machine, still looks disgusting.

I have the White Titleist Mesh hats. I put mine in the dishwasher after a few rounds. They come out looking brand new. My nephew couldnt tell the old freshly washed from the new one I had just bought him. The other colors will fade so white is the best for washing.

In the summer, I take the offending hat into the shower with me and try to get the sweat out before it dries in and sets. This gets some more life out of them. Once they get yellowed, I have never seen a cure so I only wear white hats in the winter.

I do this as well.  For my white hats, I just scrub it with body wash and rinse.  I let it hang dry.  If you rinse the hat right away, the yellowing won't happen as much.  I've done this with Nike and Mizuno white hats that are moisture wicking (I sweat a lot).  I also rinse my Red Sox hat and have had no issues and it is part wool.  Love that hat.  It has been with me on five continents!  i just need Africa and Antarctica to complete the set.

I just throw mine in the washing machine.  Just make sure that you let them air dry or else they will shrink.

You dishwasher guys...do you put them in there by themselves, or do you throw them in with the dirty dishes and some detergent?

No dirty dishes but do add detergent.  Place them in the top rack

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
