How to clean fitteds...

**ThaRealest11** · 03-01-2005, 02:18 AM

Does anybody hav any secrets or something on how to get ur fitteds extra clean. I remember a while back their was some kind of kit on the internet that had this helmet looking thing that shaped your hats back into brand new form. It was a kit that came with a bunch of cool shit like cleaners and stuff. I dunno I'ma look for it some more if I find it I'll post it here. But until then how do y'all clean your fitteds?

Go to lids and see what they say.

i use the cleaner/de-oderizer spray they sell at lids.

-spray the hat down good with the cleaner
-let it soak for 15-20 mins
-take a wet warm towel and scrub

it cleans the hat pretty good.

One time I used a tiny, tiny, TINY bit of liquid laundry soap mixed with a little water. I dipped a towel in it and lightly scrubed the hat until it got damp. then I let it sit for about 10 mins then i took a clean damp towel(no soap) then scrubed the hat some more until its clean looking and no soap residue or suds left.

It worked pretty good but the Lids hat cleaner spray works better.

Before the last time Boxden got hacked I had a post that clearly outlined how to clean them sucessfully but didnt get stickied (:@ jk) I'll see if i can dig it up, if not, i'll see to post the method again if i have time.

i know a lot of stores sell a kit that comes with a metal thing that u insert the hat into it, and u can put it in the diswasher, the metal thing keeps the hat in its normal shape, not sure what its called but ill surf around a bit and try to find it

not really suppoesed to put em in the washer... dry clean em or like most ppl do is buy a new one....

Shit before the Lids spray cleaner I used to use a toothbrush and a little lukewarm water and a little bit of baking soda
then I would take card board fit in the hat to keep it's foundation and let it dry flat on the table

Worked for me

using water to wash the caps can shrink them.

Yeah I've had a couple shrink just from sweat. Water shrinks the wool. I've had 7 1/2's turn into like 7 1/8ths. They went from being big, to actually being fitted.

yea man if your hat is to dirty to wear, its time to place it in the garbage, buy a new one

**blazeworth** · 03-07-2005, 10:40 PM

YOu should just buy a new hat. You can wear that shit in the summer when ur playing baseball or sumthing, u dont have to throw em away. if the hat shrinks you can make it big again. Heres How...
1) Take the hat and have the bill face you and put the back of the hat on your knee.
2) Pull the hat a couple of times, you should hear a popping noise, that is normal.
3) Bend the hat back into the shape you want, repeat to get the size that you want.
