3, How to storing baseball Caps

 

Commemorative caps should always be stored in a covered case to prevent dust and grease from accumulating.

These should only need a light dusting or brushing once a year to keep them clean.

If you have an autograph that you want to preserve, keep the cap in a dark air-conditioned space to prevent fading and stop mold or mildew from forming.

Less precious caps can be packed in a plastic or cotton storage bin or stacked inside a cotton bag or pillowcase in your closet.

If using a bag, make sure nothing compresses the hat as that will change its shape.

Always stow caps away from direct light, heat, and moisture.
