Best way to clean caps

[MudderBear]

Looking for a T&T way to clean caps, baseball type. My son has a white one that needs cleaning, and I was thinking of just spot cleaning it, then I remembered that I did that before and when the hat dried you could see a watermark where I cleaned the dirt marks. Guess I'll have to wash the whole thing. Anyone tried cleaning hats in the dishwasher? I have a hat 'frame' apparently for that reason. Anyone try that???

I use the dishwasher also. To dry I use the tennis shoe rack (I don't know the real name) for drying.

i just put a rubber band on the bill to help keep its shape and toss in the washer,take off the rubber band and throw in dryer.

Top rack of dishwasher.
Done it for years.

But I let "air dry" rather than dry in the DW, because that heat is what takes the "life" out of the cap/hat sooner.

I just toss them into the washing machine and then air dry. My sons were never very particular about their hats, actually the youngest one wanted his hats to look "ratty".
