How can I prevent tomato sauce stains on my hat?

To prevent getting tomato sauce stains on your hat, try to avoid spilling any sauces directly onto the hat. If you must, try using a napkin or tissue to absorb the liquid right away.

What should I do if the stain remains after trying all these methods?

If the stain still remains, try repeating the method you used again. If the stain remains even after repeating the method, the hat may be too damaged to clean. In this case, you may need to buy a new hat.

Method 2: Dab Vinegar and Baking Soda

Mix equal parts vinegar and baking soda until it creates a paste.
Dab the paste onto the tomato sauce stains.
Let the paste sit for 10 minutes.
Rinse the stained area with clean cold water.

Method 3: Use Alcohol

Additional Tips

Always test these methods on an inconspicuous part of the hat before attempting them on stain.
Avoid overwetting the fabric as this would cause the protein from the tomatoes to set into fibers.
