Now that your little one is no longer in diapers, you may find yourself with a hat covered in diaper stains. As gross as it may look, rest assured that these stains can be removed. In this article we will show you step-by-step instructions to help you clean that hat until it looks brand new.

Step 1: Inspect the Hat for Stains

Before you can begin the cleaning process, you must first examine the hat for any stains that require cleaning. Look over the surface of the hat, and pay special attention to the seams and folds. If you are dealing with a water-based stain, it may have bleached the fabric due to sun's glare.

Step 2: Pre-Treat Stains with a Stain Remover

Once you have identified the stains, you should pre-treat them with a stain remover. Spray the product directly onto the affected areas and then gently scrub the fabric with a soft brush or cloth. Let the pre-treatment sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

Step 3: Wash the Hat with Soap and Water

Fill a sink or bucket with lukewarm water and add some mild detergent. Place hat into the water and gently swish it around to ensure soap covers all areas. Allow hat to soak for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off with cold water. You may need to repeat this process two or three times if stains are still visible.

Step 4: Spot Clean Any Remaining Stains

After washing the hat, inspect it for any spots that need extra attention. For tough stains, use a sponge or cloth to apply the detergent directly onto areas and scrub gently. Rinse off the detergent with clear water and allow hat to air dry.

Step 5: Dry the Hat

To dry the hat, place it on a towel and let it air dry in a warm place. Once it is completely dry, place it on a hanger or flat surface and use a lint roller to remove any excess lint or dust that may be present.

And there you have it!

Following these simple steps will help you get those pesky diaper stains out of hat and restore it to its original condition. Good luck!
