No more gross dirty hats!!!
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
June 25, 2016

I bought this to wash all of my husband's hats. I have used it in the dishwasher with no issues. He curves the brim of his hats a lot and I was nervous it might flatten it but it didn't; much to my relief.

I was also able to spray the whole hat (inside and out) while it was in the holder with stain remover. That was nice since I didn't have to worry about getting the spray all over my hands.

My husband was also impressed with how clean his hats are now. Some of them he even said he forgot the original color of!! Ewe!!!

I have already recommended this to friends and family!!

Well I'll be darn

My initial thought after opening the Amazon box and seeing the flimsy cheap plastic item was, "there goes $8 bipucks"' but.... to my delight the product worked amazingly well. Simple instructions: open hat buddy from the BACK, place hat in, put in dishwasher (top rack), put in non-lemon scented detergent (don't know) and turn on light cycle (no heat dry). Let dry in hat buddy device. The dirtiest grimiest hat I had came out like new. Note: it says not to use in dishwasher with top shelf agitator but I did with no issues. Just make sure it doesn't hit the hat buddy.

Sorry photos are upside down. Amazons fault, not mine.

Works great in the washing machine

I used this to bring my husband's 20-plus year old UNH cap back to life. It was lost for a long time, and it was filthy and sticky when it turned up. No idea what got it so gross. I tried the dishwasher, which is the recommended method, but it didn't really get the hat clean. The package says not to put it in a front loading washer, but I tried it anyway, just the hat and a few other small items, on "hand wash" setting. Worked great that way! I let the hat dry in the holder, and the shape is better than it was before, too.

I loved this ball cap buddy and used the heck out of it for a week straight cleaning all of my husbands caps. Some didn't go back to their original shape which was a bummer. But after a week of using it as directed it broke.

So 3 stars for ruining some hats and for breaking. 3 stars for washing the heck out of some gross hats. I would recommend this product.

Made My Grubby Caps Like New
by Pamela J. Peerce Landers (5 out of 5 stars)

We have dozens of baseball caps and we wear them working outside. It doesn't take long for the brims to get really dirty and, of course, the band to get grimy. But, what to do? Toss them or wear dirty hats because how are you going to wash something made of cardboard? Easy, you use this.

You insert your cap and place it in the top rack of your dishwasher at its normal setting. When I took my cap out, it looked brand new, but wet. You let the cap dry in the frame. The seller says this frame can be used in a top loading washing machine, but I'd be reluctant to do that. The length of the frame is greater than the radius of of our washer minus the agitator.

My grubby, but not totally grubby mesh cap came out looking like new. Be sure you let it dry in the frame.

The only downside is it does take up a lot of room on the top rack. But, that's the price for a as new cap.

***Dishwasher Magic*** This product can really clean a dirty cap!
by Ron Gaskin (5 out of 5 stars)

I read the directions about a top load washer only and I thought crap, I only have a front loader, but the GF read the entire directions and the dishwasher top shelf option works fantastic!! My treasured JD cap came out looking like new from the DISHWASHER! We used an unscented dishwasher soap on the light wash cycle with no dry. We just took it out and left it in the frame to air dry.

Says use in dishwasher!! Huh?

Do you realize you are supposed to put this in your dishwasher?!! I didn't. I have a number of cotton canvas caps, and I would think they should be washed in cold water. I can't make my dishwasher run with cold water, it's just not an option (I can HEAT the water more, but not cool it). I thought the whole point of the frame was to keep your cap's shape as it goes through your (non-agitator) washing machine. Haven't used it yet and missed the deadline to return. What to do? Twist a vine through it?

Follow all the instructions the manufacturer provides.

Update: I am switching my review from 3 to 4 stars. I dumped two baseball caps in the washing machine at low speed-once with delicates and once with towels (1/3 full)-and the plastic protector did not break or bend. My hats also retained their shape. The seller does not advice the product be placed in the washer, however, if you check up on it and make sure it is not being crushed you should be fine.

I will note that my hats were not well washed because they were on low speed. I purchased a separate brush to scrub them. I will be using the cage protector as a tool to maintain the shape of my hats after I hand-wash them.

I washed my hat in the washing machine at low speed with delicates. The plastic did not break nor did it damage my baseball cap or other clothing. I am currently drying the hat and will update the review if my hat maintains its shape and looks clean. I have doubts about the hat keeping its shape because the plastic cage does not seal as tight as I would like. It is a bit loose.

Cons: flimsy material, will primarily only work on hats with flat bills (if your bill is curved, good luck), does not clip on tight, does not thoroughly clean

Pros: maintains hat locked in and protected from completely wrinkling or bending, longevity

Nope. It didn't flatten the bill of my cap. I recommend this Ballcap Buddy
by D. L. Gibbons (5 out of 5 stars)

I was concerned the Ballcap Buddy would flatten the bill of my cap. It didn't. It maintained the shape of the bill at the original bend and held the cap in place in the dishwasher. I ran it with dishes, but that didn't matter. The cap came out fine. I left it in the Buddy to dry to maintain the shape of the crown. Again, that came out fine as well. I highly recommend the Ballcap Buddy.

Simple and works well. Dirt and sweat smells gone

The Ball Cap Buddy arrived on time and undamaged. The Buddy looks just like the file photo and works as described. It fits well in the dishwasher and is unaffected by the heat. I have tried it on several hats already and I am very satisfied with the results. I purchased it through Amazon prime at a great price and would recommend it to anyone.
