I have washed them in the washer and dishwasher. If you dont have one of those shapers, i would just play with it as its drying, this way it doesn’t get deformed…The cardboard bill holds up for a lot of washing…

Try soaking the hat in Woolite in the sink. You might want to stain stick any sweat ring out 1st.

My husband wears nothing but baseball caps and I wash them in the washer using the shaper thing you mentioned. I use to wash them in the dishwasher - on the top rack ONLY - but then I got the shaper thing and it is so much better in the washer.
The trick is to let the cap fully dry in the shaper thing then you can reshape it once it’s dry.
I don’t think you can tell the difference between the cardboard or plastic until they are falling apart and by then it’s to late for it so I’d suggest getting the shaper thing and wash it with like colors. If you rinse in vinegar 1st the colors will last longer. This is good for all fabrics.

I wash mine in the washing machine on regular cycle. The trick is to mold the hat when you take it out to dry. Do not use the dryer. The hat will keep the shape you mold when it drys. Try it on a hat you don’t care about first and see how well it works. Hats don’t last as long as cloths so it will have to be tossed after a few washings.
