Laundry tips (washing hats?)
 

I've got a couple of nicer hats (baseball style caps) that I want to wash. How should I do this? I have this plastic hat frame thing that my mom got when I was little, supposedly I can put the hat in that and put it in the washing machine. But is this the best way to do it without damaging the brim? If so, what laundry settings should I use? If not, what is?

Also, feel free to post any general laundry tips here as well.

This hat style is so hideous. It makes the wearer look like JJ Jameson.

Athletic shoe cleaner works well for cleaning hats. You can get the stuff at any sporting goods/shoe store for like $10. It comes with a little brush and sponge.

Some people say putting them in the dishwasher works but I've never tried that. Clothes washer isn't a good idea. Every time I've done that it messes up the hat.

Has always worked for me - better than the laundry, which can ruin the shape/rim with the spin.
