Winter Hats vs. Baseball Caps: Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions

For winter headwear, if you don't use them regularly, washing once bimonthly—approximately three times per season—suffices. Most can handle machine washing, but always verify care instructions for specific directions.

Baseball caps require more delicate handling. Hand-wash them twice yearly in cool water to avoid staining and help preserve their form and coloration.
